NLC Update (04/03/16)


The Herald reported the other day that Labour-run North Lanarkshire Council has a new leader, Councillor Jim Logue.

Now I don't know Jim Logue, but I assume he has been member of the Labour Group of councillors which has run North Lanarkshire for the past two decades with the help and professional advice of its highly paid, senior officials. 

So if I were Councillor Logue, I would be setting up an independent inquiry into the terrible mess that North Lanarkshire has made of delivering equal pay over all these years. 

I suspect it's no coincidence that the former Labour leader, Jim McCabe, has stood down just one year out from the next Scottish council elections in May 2017.

But if North Lanarkshire does not rapidly change its ways, I predict the Labour Group will be shown the door by the voters next year.
