In October the Community Council held elections as stipulated in the South Lanarkshire Scheme. There were five nominations for six elected places and so the following were duly elected: Joan Highton, Bernard Grice, Ian Kerry, Anne Hutcheson and Joan Stephenson. We thank Mr. William Gormley for acting as the returning officer.
At an initial meeting on Monday 7th November it was agreed to seek nominations from local organisations to complete the membership. Craig Allardice has been nominated by the Black Mount Social Group. We welcome further nominations from local groups.
The Annual General Meeting of the Community Council was held on Monday 5th December.
