Vote of No Confidence in East Renfrewshire Council
East Renfrewshire Council have dissolved our community councils halfway through an elected term under the guise of increasing local democracy – this move has been criticised for being a “bullying” and “undemocratic” attempt to weaken community councils.
Our council has also been guilty of financial incompetence, losing almost a quarter of a million pounds in payments to private companies due to “inadequate” paperwork, a fact that is made even more galling when you consider ERC’s plans to sell off Bonnyton House (East Renfrewshire’s sole council-owned care home) and the struggles of campaigners to get the council to accept alternative savings plans.
In light of these issues, I would ask you to consider signing this petition for a vote of no confidence in East Renfrewshire Council.
