Council rents to rise by £3 a week after consultation
Edinburgh Evening News
|February 10, 2026
West Lothian Council rents are set to rise by just over £3 a week if councillors back the budget proposals.
The council's executive will discuss the issue at a meeting on February 19
The rise represents a 3.5 per cent annual increase - first introduced in 2023 - and approved in a consultation with tenants just before Christmas.
It will take the average weekly rent for a council house in West Lothian to £95.42 per week, or £381.68 a month.
