Scotland's Largest Council

Image result for FOI images

Glasgow may be Scotland's largest council with lots of resources at its disposal, but I still had to chase the City Chambers for a response to my recent FoI requests about the City Council's pay arrangements.

In fact I had to submit a further FOI Review Request before the City Council finally got its finger out although the answers make for very interesting reading. 

Once I've digested the City Council's response, I'll share the details on the blog site - so watch this space.

Here's what HFW has to say on the subjecy -  I think I'll contact Hugh - and ask if he'll join the TAPAS campaign. "Vermin with wings? Chicken of the sea? Or just an opportunity missed?" "First and foremost, before we all go on a mad seagull killing frenzy. In the U.K it is against the law to kill seagulls or interfere with their nests under the countryside and wildlife act.
