SNP wins fight to pass budget
THE SNP administration has won its battle to pass its budget in Renfrewshire after a heated council meeting today.
It means plans to invest £29m in schools in the area and raise council tax by 4.79 per cent are set to be implemented.
The administration had faced a fight to pass their budget after the opposition Labour group introduced their own proposals for Renfrewshire.
