An Independent councillor who chaired Falkirk Council 's scrutiny committee has resigned from the position after councillors voted against making it a paid role.
In a short resignation letter, Councillor Brian McCabe wrote: "Following the Council’s decision and the lack of importance it places on the role, I see no reason to waste my time on a lost cause."
At the final Falkirk Council meeting of the year, Councillor Robert Spears, another Independent, proposed that there should be "immediate remuneration" for the role. However, there were only two votes in favour.
