Humza Yousaf said the freeze for 2024/25 will be fully funded but opposition elected members are fearing the worst.
A council tax freeze could have serious repercussions for council services in Renfrewshire, furious politicians have claimed.
Councillor Alison Ann-Dowling, Labour group finance spokesperson, said: “SNP councillors who support this shock announcement need to answer one question to the people of Renfrewshire – where is the money coming from? Because be in no doubt, jobs could be in the balance and services we all rely on to repair our roads, fund education and social services, if the council doesn’t have enough money coming in to cover running costs.
Councillor David McGonigle, Conservative group finance spokesperson, said: “Humza Yousaf and the SNP government must explain how they will give Renfrewshire Council every resource they need to implement this freeze. While any measure to support hard-pressed families is welcome, it cannot come at the expense of yet further cuts to local services that they rely on each day. That is why it is astonishing local authorities were not consulted on this plan before it was announced.
The dedicated team of experienced journalists, responsible for the publication of the award-winning Express, will focus on breaking news, day and night, across Renfrewshire’s towns and villages.
