Comment posted First Chief Officer appointed to single Scottish Fire and Rescue Service by Integrity? Not in the CondemAll.
PwC didn’t just query the bnefit, they concluded that they could find no evidence of option appraisal (i.e. retire then re-employ was the only option considered), the board couldn’t demonstrate that the Chief Officer was independent of the decision making process and they overall concluded that the information made available to them didn’t support a decision being made with best value in mind.
This was all denied by the councillor who was the spokesperson for the Board.

- Argyll and Bute Council: Councillor McCuish leads again
I heard (but this could be wrong) that the vote was 18 to 17 which does suggest one absentee meaning the vote carries. An unfortunate vote to miss. However this would still leave an ongoing 18 vs 18 when it comes to full council decisions. This will be interesting and challenge both parties to demonstrate that they are really made up of a collection of independents rather than a party in all but name. - Argyll and Bute Council: Councillor McCuish leads again
Hmm that makes 18 in oppositon however there are only 36 councillors so in poker terms we would have split pot. I am guessing this isn’t the case so was there maybe a late change of heart by someone?Oops Ignore this – just seen the comments at the end of the article
- Radically new council group changes all the dynamics: party politics dead in Argyll
Ia m hearing that Roddy McCuish is back as leader with Dick Walsh still leader of the opposition. The new ruling group being along the lines of what is set out in the e-mail above. - First Minister’s choice not to condemn mob behaviour proves Farage point
Not sure if I agree with putting fascism and Islam on the same shelf (as it were).
However interestingly, and a little ironically, if there is a massively generalised criticism of the Islamic faith it is its traditional resistance/opposition to multiculturalism – a criticism that could be made of UKIP with little difficulty. - Walsh to lead all but Lib Dems, Conservatives and George Freeman
‘more honest and upfront’Really?

This story should remind us all that Brian Sweeney could have been in line for this job. Mr Sweeney’s retirement benefit in 2011 was queried by the Strathclyde fire and rescue service’s auditors PriceWaterhouseCoopers and came to the attention of the Audit Commission.
Does anybody know what happened?
