Stirling’s provost has hit out at controversy generated over an invite to visit Florida which could have cost Stirling Council up to £3000.
In Wednesday’s Observer, fellow Tory councillors said Douglas Dodds had already made his mind up not to make the trip to Dunedin, which has decades old links with Stirling, due to the cost to the taxpayer.
Bannockburn ward independent councillor Alasdair MacPherson and the opposition SNP group earlier this week slammed the proposed use of up to £3000 of public money to pay for Provost Dodds to visit Dunedin in the US state next April.
