Tax freeze on for Midlothian
COUNCIL tax is to be frozen in Midlothian for the fourth successive year.
Midlothian Council agreed to accept a recommendation that the freeze be maintained at a meeting of the full council.
However, members heard that the council still needs to make cuts of 1.5m to deliver a balanced budget for 2010-11.
Details of these cuts will be announced in late February.
Members agreed to maintain the council tax freeze in order to retain a Scottish Government incentive worth more than 1m.
