East Dunbartonshire
Readers in East Dunbartonshire are up in arms over the foot dragging behaviour their council.
East Dunbartonshire is one of the councils which asked the Scottish government for extra borrowing funds to meet the back pay costs of equal pay - and has been allocated £2.8 million for this purpose .
See post dated 4 August 2010 - for details.
Apparently, the local Liberal Democrat MP - Jo Swinson - has started asking questions about what the council is actually doing with the money.
But the answers that have come back are not very convincing - no one seems to be able to explain what plans the council has to use these additional funds.
Readers in East Dunbartonshire find this quite shocking - and no wonder.
So they are going to contact their local paper and highlight what's going on - which is always a good way to encourage senior officials and council leaders - to get their fingers out.
