Tbh they are unaccountable but really have heehaw power anyway . Apparently definitely not in regards to the aire
The guy is a tosser , think he has been told that already . Needs to be ignored . Pretty sure he enjoys the attention
Hope nobody steals his transit

Alcam, hindsight is a wonderful thing, and with hindsight I agree with you.
I was asked to respond to his sad post, and although I don’t regret that, I now wish I had drawn a line earlier and walked away. Also I did not know he was a councillor until Saturday night. I have spoken to Ian the park manager a couple of times, and he’s a decent bloke. I also felt he deserved our support from the garbage this loudmouth bigot was spewing out.
Anyway I learnt a few things, lessons taken in. I always think it’s important to learn from your mistakes, and I have made plenty in my time.

It's been an eye opener for me too (Val54). Scottish Community Councils seem to be immune to any scrutiny. The FoI does not cover them. What this means is that any Community Councillor is immune to any investigation. A simple no comment will do as an answer to any query. We have no right to know what they do or how they spend our money unless they wish to tell us. But we can't compel it to give us information.

I find it hard to get my head round it. They're elected and publicly funded – and that's it. Ripe for infiltration by anybody I reckon though at least Councillors do have to be local. Get enough local folk and take over our own Community Council?

What fun.

It is quite bizarre Tom, the only significant difference between community councils and the situation south of the border is that community councils cannot raise a precept, they are totally reliant on bidding for funding from the local council and other sources. So at least they have to persuade a third party of the benefits of their proposals when spending our money. Whoever drafted the code of conduct for community councils and exempted them from FOISA clearly had little experience of the viper's nest that is "politics" at a local level.

You've told him what you think of him and rightly so .
His behaviour looks even more bizarre when it turns out he has no power over the Aires' policies .
Maybe he doesn't know that ?
Anyway he is an erse
