PERSONAL STATEMENT

A NEW DIRECTION FOR A BETTER COMMUNITY

"I am both delighted and proud to have been elected to represent the Dunblane and Bridge of Allan ward on Stirling Council. I have spent many months listening to the views and concerns of local residents, and following my election it is now time to address many of those concerns. By putting an end to waste and profligacy, by ensuring that Stirling's finances are brought under control, and by scrutinising policy I hope that we can deliver a new direction for a better community."

DEFENDING THE INDEFENSIBLE



In today's Scotsman, (click here to read article) it has been reported that Scotland's local authorities have spent up to £100 million of council taxpayers' money to pay off staff over the last four years. Payments have been spent on severance, redundancy and early retirement payments.

If any evidence is needed to show just how bloated our public sector has become, then this is it. Taxpayers are paying handsomely for a reduction in jobs which should never have existed in the first place. That's taxpayers like you!...
