Concern over the safety of councillors in West Dunbartonshire after the "horrendous experience” of one elected member has seen them back a move to hold more surgeries online.
Labour councillor Clare Steele who said her experiences at in person surgeries had left her feeling “more vulnerable and scared” than ever before.
She said that while face to face meetings should continue, online surgeries would also allow residents unable to attend in person to still speak to their local representative.
