The Council has opted for a new cabinet-style executive to replace its old committee system. The new ‘streamlined’ executive will be headed by 6 senior councillors, David O’Neill, John Reid, Peter McNamara, Tom Barr, John Bell and Margaret McDougall.
During Tuesday’s council meeting, amendments to the proposed scrutiny powers of the committee were made, specifying an ‘audit and standards function’ to monitor the activity of the executive. The meeting was ‘twice as long as normal,' said Margie Currie. This might be the shape of things to come, as under the new set-up, the council will not meet as often as it has done in the past.
A new islands working group was formed comprising the 8 councillors from the two coastal wards covering Arran and Cumbrae. The chair and vice-chair of the Planning Committee will be decided next Tuesday.
