North Lanarkshire
A number of readers from North Lanarkshire have been in touch to say that the council is preparing to make settlement offers - to claimants in former APT&C groups.
Now this may be correct - certainly the trade unions appear to have been involved in 'secret' discussions with the council - according to local reports.
But so far no hard and fast proposals have been put on the table - as far as anyone can tell - so there's no point in jumping to conclusions.
If and when there are any detailed proposals from North Lanarkshire to settle these outstanding cases - clients will be contacted by Action 4 Equality Scotland with clear advice about what to do next - if anything.
Until that day arrives the best thing to do is to sit tight - because the rumour mill is a notoriously unreliable source of information.
If any written information does come the way of any readers - then you are always welcome to pass this on to me - in complete confidence, of course.
