Unprecedented pressures being faced by Stirling Council’s finance team have been blamed for councillors being unable to scrutinise the authority’s accounts.
The council’s finance, economy and corporate support committee was told last week that the usual papers showing the resource and capital outturns were unavailable.
Chair Councillor Margaret Brisley, the council’s longest standing councillor, said she had been made aware that “due to pressure of business” the finance team had asked for the reports to be deferred until the next meeting and she had “reluctantly” agreed.
