At its meeting last night (Tuesday 20 March), following approval of the Council Budget for 2018-19, Councillor Vaughan Moody and Councillor Andrew Polson were appointed as Co-Leaders of East Dunbartonshire Council with immediate effect.

In line with current custom and practice, both Co-Leaders will represent the Council at COSLA Leaders, but with one vote between them and Co-Leader Moody will represent East Dunbartonshire on the Glasgow City Region City Deal, with Co-Leader Polson as substitute.

Co-Leader Moody said, “This is a joint Administration intent on delivering both stability and leadership to the organisation.  We have made a firm commitment to address the challenges we face and to take on the opportunities that lie ahead. 

Co-Leader Polson added, “This equal partnership between our groups will provide a new focus for the Council following the challenging months we have been through.  I look forward to working with my Administration colleagues as we progress Council business and deliver our priorities.”
