Decision details

The Council gave consideration to a report which outlined a number of vacancies on committees and other organisations and included an update on the Political Composition of the Council following the By-election in Ward 1, South Kintyre, which took place on 2 November 2023. 

 

The Executive Director with responsibility for Legal and Regulatory Support noted that the Political Composition of the Council included at Appendix 1 should reflect that Councillor Dougie Philand was now the only member of Argyll First and as such the reference to him being Leader of that Group should be removed.
