Stirling Council’s leader has defended claiming expenses for meals on top of the more than £32,000 he already makes.
Labour councillor Chris Kane also accused independent councillor Alasdair Macpherson of trying to publicly shame him by raising the issue.
At a full meeting of the council, Councillor Macpherson said he had read on the Annual Statement of Members Allowance and Expenses 2022/23 that Councillor Kane had claimed £86.59 for meals on top of his £32,459 salary and allowances as a councillor and council leader.
