Council tax will rise 2.5% across Aberdeenshire after the administration’s today budget passed 33 to 32.
The SNP-led administration budget was narrowly passed at a meeting of all councillors today and includes a 2.5% increase on all bands.
For the first time in nine years, councils across Scotland will be given the opportunity to raise tax by 3%.
The rise comes on top of an additional £8.3 million anticipated through council tax reform which affects bands E to H.
