Cuts to local services and increases in council tax are likely as authorities try to balance books.
Council tax only generates about 13% of local government funding, with most of their cash coming from the Scottish government.Deputy First Minister John Swinney announced an extra £100m for councils last week, which he said equated to a 3% real-terms increase.
The recommended 10% increase in council tax would see a Band D property paying £1,560.48, up from £1,418.62, from 1 April - a rise of £141.86., there is already a £40 charge, on top of council tax, for households that want garden waste removed. This could go up to £50 or £60.East Renfrewshire Council is considering increasing the charge for picking up garden waste
