SNP councillors have failed in an attempt to have a Labour councillor suspended from committee duties ahead of a standards hearing.
All seven of Stirling’s SNP councillors called for the special meeting, held last Thursday, demanding Councillor Danny Gibson be removed from all committee and external positions where he represents Stirling Council pending the outcome of a Standards Commission hearing on June 21.
Councillor Gibson is accused of breaching the Councillors’ Code of Conduct on issues of “respect and courtesy” and those relating to taking decisions on “quasi-judicial or regulatory applications”.
