A councillor who quit the SNP just three months before the elections has this week revealed he was fed up of “party politics”.
Dougie Campbell announced in March that he was leaving the nationalists and took the risky step of trying to get re-elected to Dumfries and Galloway Council as an independent candidate.
Standing once again to represent Dee and Glenkens, Dougie’s campaigning paid off as he gained 653 votes to earn the third councillor seat in the three member ward.
