A frustrated cabinet member has hit back at a Labour rival after his initial failure to apologise forced a 10-minute recess at the full council on Wednesday.
Scott Davidson, cabinet member for Place at North Ayrshire Council, defended the plans to introduce town centre parking charges, under questioning from Jim Montgomerie, who had supported the plans back in March when his party were in power.
Montgomerie fired a scathing broadside at Davidson, telling the politician he 'didn't have the brains' after the SNP man accused him of 'rambling'.
