West Dunbartonshire Council announces housing rent rise
Rents for council house tenants in West Dunbartonshire are to rise by 7.63% from 1 April, it has been announced.
The council said the increase would add an extra £4.67 each week to the average weekly rent over the year.
Housing convener, Cllr David McBride, said the rent rise was "needed to pay for the major improvements required to our properties".
He added: "Increasing rents is never an easy decision but I believe our tenants understand why we need to do this."
