Council tax rise planned for Stirling

Council tax in Stirling is set to rise by 7.9%.

Stirling Council are to set out their budget later this week.

They're facing a budget gap of £10.8 million.

The local authority needs to plug a funding gap of nearly £37 million by 2031.

Proposals to bridge the gap include a rise in parking charges, dimming street lights, and reducing the number of support for learning staff.

Last year, council tax increased by 8.8%.

The budget document includes potential rises of up to 15%.
