Falkirk Council

Settlement discussions with Falkirk Council have been taking place - behind the scenes - for the past few months.

But after lots of humming and hawing there are signs of progress at last - because an 'in principle' agreement has been reached - for the council to make new offers of settlement.

Falkirk Council now has to approve these proposals formally at a meeting on 28 April 2010.

All being well - they will then be recommended to Action 4 Equality Scotland clients for acceptance.

If the latest proposals are not approved by the council - for any reason - there will be no point in further settlement talks.

The only way forward - in that event - will be to push forward for an early GMF hearing to deal with all the outstanding claims.

So, the message for the moment is to sight tight - and await further developments at the end of April.

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'.
