Falkirk Council Update



Here are contact details for the political leadership of Falkirk Council - the councils Labour leader, Craig Martin, and his two deputies: Joan Paterson, another Labour councillor, and Malcolm Nicol, one of two Conservative councillors.

Falkirk also has a Provost (Labour) and Depute Provost (Conservative), so all the senior positions seem to have been taken by an unlikely Labour/Conservative coalition. 

What this all means for equal pay remains to be seen, but if a settlement of Falkirk's  outstanding claims is not reached soon, the only way to knock some sense into the council will be to turn up the heat on its elected councillors.

 More information to follow soon including contact details for the opposition - the 13 SNP councillors and perhaps one or two independents who are not aligned to any party group.

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
