Efforts to remove voting rights on council committees from unelected members, including those representing churches, are being criticised by a former Stirling provost.
Colin O’Brien, himself a high school headteacher for many years, is a Church of Scotland representative on the council’s children and young people committee.
The former Labour councillor said this week he was not surprised by a motion by Tory councillors that would remove voting rights in the council’s main committees from anyone but elected council members - but that he was surprised by the timing.
