All of South Ayrshire Council’s service charges and council tax payments will increase by 2.9 per cent from April to bridge a £6.7m shortfall.
The council opted to make less than £900,000 in new cuts and savings ahead of May’s local elections.
Instead, the 2.9 percent tax increase will bring in an additional £2.21m, with just over £3m in reserves being utilised.
