A Stirling councillor has been suspended from taking part in council business for five months after he was found to have breached the Councillors’ Code of Conduct for behaving disrespectfully towards council officers and bullying a senior council officer.
Labour councillor for Stirling North, Danny Gibson, appeared before a hearing of the Standards Commission for Scotland at Stirling Council’s Old Viewforth HQ on Wednesday.
Following the hearing, the panel today (Friday) has imposed a five month ban on Cllr Gibson - who previously served as deputy council leader - for a series of breaches of the Councillors’ Code of Conduct.
