Provost of Perth and Kinross Council Dennis Melloy has revealed he will “step into retirement” after having served as a councillor for 15 years.
Conservative Party representative Melloy has stood for the Strathmore ward for over three terms but was not re-elected for the area at the council elections last week.
The result was seen as a surprise and a major scalp for the SNP who increased their seats in the area by one to two.
