Stirling councillors have approved a 2.9 per cent rent increase.
Stirling Council’s average rent last year was the second lowest of all local authorities in Scotland, and the increase is less than a third the rate of inflation (10.1 per cent).
Tenants were consulted in December 2022 on potential rate increases of 2.9 per cent, 3.1 per cent or 3.3 per cent, with 68.99 per cent of residents who responded opting for the 2.9 per cent increase.
