The leaders of four political groups on Dumfries and Galloway Council will attempt to work together for the betterment of the region in a newly-created ‘leader’s panel’.
With the political make-up of the council unusual this term, special arrangements are being made to bring rival politicians together and ensure effective decision-making for constituents.
The panel will see council co-leaders Stephen Thompson (SNP) and Linda Dorward (Labour) hold regular meetings with Gail Macgregor (Conservatives) and Richard Brodie (Independents) to thrash out solutions to important issues.
