Anger over councillor's pay rise
The SNP has accused East Renfrewshire’s minority Labour administration of attempting “to buy another vote” after a Conservative councillor’s pay was increased by almost £5,000.
The SNP and Labour, with support from Councillor Danny Devlin, had controlled East Renfrewshire Council in coalition for a decade before May’s election. He added the administration has already lost one member [Councillor David Macdonald] who “resigned because he felt the Labour leader had failed to deliver on his promises.”
“The leadership of Labour backed themselves into a bit of a corner. To his credit, the leader has actually stayed true to fulfilling that party obligation. There weren’t many options available to form any kind of administration at all.”
