Renfrewshire Council “can’t afford any more failure” as it stares at a funding gap of £45-50 million in the next three financial years, a councillor has said.
“can’t afford any more failure” as it stares at a funding gap of £45-50 million in the next three financial years, a councillor has said.
It has been estimated a council tax increase of five per cent each year would cut the shortfall to somewhere in the region of £30-35m, meaning savings of around £12m each year would be needed to balance the books. She said on Thursday: “As this council strives to reduce spending – it’s been mentioned in the audit update that we’ve got to save a minimum of £12m per year – we do need openness, transparency and competence, and to work together as well as we possibly can to achieve these savings.”
Councillor Ann-Dowling said: “While I don’t want to overly dwell on Dargavel, I think the incompetence that was personified by Dargavel is just one example of why Renfrewshire taxpayers will be left paying more and getting less in return.
