East Lothian Council approved a 7.5% council tax rise and a 7% rent increase for social housing tenants, citing financial pressures from rising costs and demand.
The tax hike, the first in Scotland for 2026/27, passed with Labour and one independent support, while the SNP backed a lower 5.8% tax rise and an 8% rent increase.
Councils said the increases are needed to maintain services and avoid cuts, though concerns remain over affordability and housing access, with over 4,500 on the waiting list.
