A COUNCIL tax freeze could have serious repercussions for council services in Renfrewshire, furious politicians have claimed.
The first minister’s announcement to support people during the cost-of-living crisis has sparked a backlash among local Labour and Conservative groups.
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? “That’s unacceptable at the best of times, never mind the worst cost-of-living crisis in generations, so I have serious concerns.”
“That is why it is astonishing local authorities were not consulted on this plan before it was announced.”
