Shona Morrison accused the First Minister of having chosen to “undermine the spirit and the letter” of the Verity House Agreement.
Humza Yousaf’s pledge to freeze council tax without first consulting local authority leaders is a “serious breach” of the agreement he signed with councils, the head of the local government body Cosla has said.
It also set out that councils and Holyrood ministers would have “respect for each other’s democratic mandate” so that local and central government can “work together more effectively”. But she said councils would not quit the deal – saying there was a “belief” amongst local leaders that “for the good of our communities and public services in Scotland, we should not walk away”.
Defending the move afterwards, the First Minister said it was “right” for the government to provide such help for people in the midst of a cost-of-living crisis. But Morrison stressed Cosla’s position was “that it is for individual councils alone to set the level of council lax locally without interference or penalties from Scottish Government”.
