Angus Council leader David Fairweather
Angus Council leader David Fairweather’s fighting talk in a respect row continuing to engulf his administration has triggered a call for him to “go now” from the £36,000-a-year top job.
The Arbroath Independent has turned on critics in the latest salvo of a bitter dispute over a shamed councillor’s return to the ruling group.
The storm was originally sparked by the departure of Arbroath councillor Lois Speed from the Conservative/Independent coalition.
She was followed by Monifeith and Sidlaws Liberal Democrat Ben Lawrie.

The council leader offered to stand down, but that was rejected by coalition colleagues.
