Update on Stirling Council now that the dust has settled. In addition to the Provost and depute, Cllr leader and depute being shared out within the Con/Lab pact,there were the committees.There are six policy committees operating in the Council,all the Convenors and Vice Convenors
went to Lab. the Tories have two members on each committee. All the “non political” committees are now chaired by Tories. All the external appointments have gone to Lab or Tory. So, if it walks , waddles and quacks it’s a duck 🦆. This was all negotiated between Lab and Tories.
And already they are indistinguishable from each other in their denials that there was no agreement. Oh and as the office manoeuvres show , when Labour tried to move the Tory Provost out of his office ,they were quickly brought to heel.The Tories objected and immediately the move
was vetoed. The Provost kept his office and now the Labour Group have no rooms but have to share the Council Leader’s office 😂.This is the future for Lab in Stirling. Having to agree with the Tories to claim they are in control. #NeverTrustATory
