In the past month, the Chief Executive has been notified of a number of resignations by individual members of the council which has created a number of vacancies on committees and working groups.
West Dunbartonshire councillors are set for a showdown over who will lead the next administration at a special meeting tomorrow afternoon.
The decision was made at the end of a full council meeting in August which saw SNP councillor Karen Murray Conaghan elected as the new Provost of West Dunbartonshire who has since taken over from the former Provost Douglas McAllister. The decision made by the council leader on Wednesday, August 28 has also resulted in a number of senior councillor positions becoming vacant including the Leader of Council, Depute Leader of Council and Depute Provost. This was subsequently confirmed in writing following the Council meeting.
A document available online and circulated to members advises that the main issues to be decided in tomorrow's meeting are making sure that all vacancies are filled as soon as possible so that the council can be run effectively.
