The leader and the education chief of a Labour-run council are to face disciplinary hearings at the party's London HQ, after an internal investigation into allegations of vote-rigging, bullying and harassment...
Behind the row is a claim by senior Labour figures that large amounts of council funds are allocated to areas of most political advantage. Clydebank schools have allegedly been given the lion's share of a £100m improvements fund, meaning less for Dumbarton. The decision is understood to have been taken without being properly minuted.
Even Labour activists admit that the closure of a library and resource centre in Renton can only be explained by the town being represented by a Scottish Socialist Party councillor.
