DEPUTY First Minister Shona Robison has revealed a decision to freeze council tax next year was only taken in the 48 hours leading up to Humza Yousaf’s speech atduring his inaugural address to party conference in a bid to help Scots who are seeing their household budgets squeezed by the cost of living crisis.The organisation described the move as “deplorable” and that “real anger” had been expressed about the way it had been handled and the “risk” it poses to council budgets.
“This is a one-off freeze that will mean the Scottish Government will fully fund the council tax rises which councils otherwise would have been putting through which would have impacted on household budgets.” The VHA was designed to “reset the relationship” between councils and the Scottish Government and included a pledge of “improved engagement” on budgetary matters.
