Background
Falkirk’s 15.6% council tax rise—the highest in Scotland—is unfair and unaffordable. Families, pensioners, and workers can’t cope with rising bills, food prices, and rent. The Government must step in to stop this excessive hike, ensure councils explore fairer alternatives, and protect residents from financial hardship. No other council has imposed such a rise—why should Falkirk suffer most? We demand an urgent review and a fair solution. Sign now to make them listen!
