WE understand that at last nights Clarkston Community Council public meeting guests and Community Councillors alike were shocked by the conduct of Provost Alistair Carmichael (SNP)
Guests included a Muirend Doctor who is due to move to the new Health Centre when built in Williamwood and two young medical students who were also in attendance as part of their training to observe communities in action.
The Chair of the Community Council was asking Cllr Carmichael for clarification as to why at the last East Renfrewshire Council meeting in Chambers at Eastwood Park he claimed to have no knowledge that a larger venue had been requested for the public to observe, and that all such requests required to go through him.

The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland commences
its Fifth Reviews of Electoral Arrangements
The Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland has begun reviews of
Scotland’s local government electoral arrangements. The Commission today starts a
series of meetings with each individual council to discuss the reviews. The reviews
will result in recommendations for the number of councillors on each council and
the number and boundaries of wards for the election of those councillors. They will
not look at the external boundaries of council areas.
The last set of reviews was completed in 2006 following the introduction of multimember
wards for Scottish council elections. The number of councillors on each
council was last reviewed shortly after the councils’ establishment in 1996
The commission propose that the current 20 elected members in East Renfrewshire be reduced to 18.
