‘SNP stunt’
Angus communities convener Mark Salmond said he was “totally shocked” with the SNP proposal to delay the legally-committed expenditure.
He said SNP members had been part of a meeting with consultants over the £13m scheme in recent days. during which no indication of the possible U-turn was given.
“I have never seen such a collective display of disrespect towards council officers and external consultants,” said Montrose Independent Mr Salmond.
“I now have real concerns about Sustrans ever funding anything to do with Angus Council after this SNP stunt.
