THE Scottish Greens have announced that a “firm alternative” to replace council tax will be put forward before the next General Election.
said it would be a “collective failure” of the Scottish Parliament if a plan to replace council tax did not appear before voters go to the polls.
It emerged after Humza Yousaf announced the policy in his speech to the SNP conference the Greens had only been informed shortly beforehand.Harvie said: “Over the last week Green MSPs and Green councillors have clearly expressed criticisms of the council tax freeze, and asked challenging questions about what the phrase “fully funded” even means.“The long overdue need for fundamental reform is where this issue should go now. And only with Greens in Government will we be able to take it there.
Speaking to journalists ahead of the conference, Harvie also rejected calls from the Royal Society of Edinburgh for a revaluation of council tax across Scotland to take place.
