But Kirriemuir councillor Julie Bell, who is helping to arrange the online session this week, said women would be “shocked and infuriated” when they realise how much public finances are weighed away from their needs. The SNP councillor, who has organised the partnership event with the Scottish Women’s Budget Group (SWBG) , said the emotional and financial load-bearing role of women has never been more evident. “Over the last few years, I’ve opened up Angus Council’s Town and County Hall to women to mark International Women’s Day and encourage more women into public life,” she said.
