SNP councillor Christina Larsen hailed the budget which was eventually passed on Wednesday.
The cabinet member for finance said: “In very challenging financial circumstances, the SNP administration delivered a budget that protects vital services, invests in our communities and secures jobs by continuing our no compulsory redundancy policy.
“We are investing £1.4 million to help our communities to combat the cost-of-living crisis, including adding an additional £100,000 to support universal financial inclusion - helping people get money in their pockets they are entitled to.
