Dundee council tax rate announced
Council tax bill
Dundee was the last Scottish council to set its council tax
Dundee City Council is raising its council tax by 2.63% - just above the rate of inflation.

The change means a band D council tax payer in the area can expect to pay �1,211, an increase of �31.

A spokesman said it had managed to keep increases below the national average over the past five years.

The majority of Scotland's local authorities defied a warning to keep increases down to 2.5%. Two councils still have to set a rate.

Stirling Council's meeting to set the council tax rise figure was adjourned after Conservative members withdrew from the talks.

No meeting has yet been arranged for new talks.

South Ayrshire Council will set its rate on 19 March.
