Glasgow City Council’s putting up council tax by 3% this year.
It was a lively debate between Labour and SNP as they debated the budget, but in the end councillors voted through the spending plans.
Our chief reporter Linda Sinclair was at the council chambers in Glasgow to listen to the debate unfold:
Council leader Frank McAveety said: "Local government budgets are under extreme pressure, but we have delivered a people's budget that delivers on the priorities of Glaswegians. Our budget protects funding for local groups and continues to fund jobs, training and apprenticeships through the Glasgow Guarantee.
"We will safeguard our Affordable Warmth Dividend for our oldest citizens - and no new or increased charges for bulk uplifts, garden maintenance or school meals.
"Glasgow's budget also delivers new investment in cleansing, childcare and infrastructure in our communities - with money for cleaner streets, improved refuse collection and investment in roads and footways.
"Over the last two years, we have been working with community groups and citizens to better understand what services they value and what role they want the council to play in their neighbourhoods.
"Again and again, they have prioritised these areas. We have listened and, today, we have delivered."
Elsewhere South Lanarkshire, Inverclyde and Ranfrewshire Councils voted to continue with the council tax freeze for another year.
Renfrewshire Council Leader Mark Macmillan said: “Affordability is clearly an issue of concern to most tenants.
“Freezing rents for the next year will give a welcome boost to households across the area and I’m glad the council is in a position to give them this help.
“The UK Government’s welfare reforms are causing severe financial difficulty for families so this council is absolutely determined to do whatever we can to help people get by.
“We set aside £5 million for measures to alleviate the impact of the chancellor's unfair reforms over the period 2013/14 to 2017/18.
“This included having extra staff to help tenants who are struggling because of the reforms and this support will continue over the next year."
