SHETLAND Islands Council (SIC) has approved an action plan designed to respond to concerns raised by auditors in a best value report. A “sounding board” for the plan will also be set up featuring councillors from each ward. But warnings were made in the council chamber on.
SENIOR councillor Cecil Smith has confirmed that he will be standing in May’s local government election. Smith has been a member for Lerwick South since first being elected in 2007, and he has been depute convener and also leader during this time. The ward will have four seats.
