Highland Council debates a 7% tax rise despite a bigger Scottish grant, sparking backlash over fairness and spending.
Highland Council faces a heated debate over a proposed 7% council tax rise, with opposition parties calling it unjustified despite a larger-than-expected Scottish Government grant.
Critics say the increase unfairly burdens residents and reflects poor fiscal choices, citing failures on roads, housing, and education.
The Highland Alliance demands accountability and a share of renewable energy revenues, while Labour and the Greens offer conditional support, pushing for reforms on second homes, motorhome levies, and community transport.
The final decision is set for Thursday.
