North Lanarkshire’s new administration say their “priority is to take immediate action [on] the cost of living crisis” after completing their power switch by appointing a new team of conveners and deputes to lead the council’s 20 committees.
Council leader Jim Logue says his team – fully replacing the SNP administration which took office in May – has “a wealth of experience with a track record of getting things done, particularly in times of emergency”.
The new office bearers were confirmed at a special meeting yesterday which saw the installation of a Labour provost and Conservative depute; which the opposition SNP group blasted as an “official Tory/Labour coalition”.
