THE leader of the SNP opposition group on Moray Council has attacked the proposed 18% increase in Council Tax.
Councillor Gary Coull said: "Once again we are seeing this Independent/Tory Administration getting Moray in the national headlines for all the wrong reasons.
"This is a massive hike being proposed and will really hit the pockets of Moray people who are already facing high living costs combined with frozen wages.
"It is even more galling that a rise is supported by the Tories and Labour in Moray. Something which has, no doubt, encouraged the Administration to come forward with this ridiculous hike.
"The Council Tax freeze has saved families over £1,500 and has been welcomed by local people.
"It really is unbelievable to see this administration proposing such a blow to Moray people’s pockets while they continue to peddle vanity projects such as the Western Link Road in Elgin."
