Many Hands Make Light Work


Alex Neil - the SNP MSP for Airdrie and Shotts - is the latest person to lend his support to the campaign to knock some sense into North Lanarkshire Council (NLC).

Which is good news - because it puts other MSPs on the spot to say where they stand.

So anyone living in the Airdrie and Shotts constituency might care to drop Alex a note - as a local MSP he is in an ideal position to take up people's concerns with North Lanarkshire Council.

The facts of the matter are clear - after the collapse of the Edinburgh 'Wilkinson' case there is no valid reason for NLC refusing to settle these outstanding cases.

The legal arguments in North Lanarkshire are exactly the same - yet while Edinburgh has settled North Lanarkshire continues to drag its feet.

First of all it the council was 'defending the indenfensible' - now it's a case of 'delaying the inevitable' - but for no good reason.

So here's the issue - two Glasgow MSPs (Nicola Sturgeon and Humza Yousaf) have been asked a reasonable question about their use of public money to employ two SNP councillors who already have full-time, salaried jobs as senior elected members of Glasgow City Council.   But these two public servants (both long-serving ministers) refuse to answer, so what to do next? One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
