Fet-Lor closed today

Unfortunately, we have had to make the difficult decision to close FetLor today due to the Vandalism, Disrespect and Anti-social behaviour the young people carried out during and after The Boys Club last night.

The attitude towards staff, the building and community was unacceptable.

We take great pride in providing a free, safe and positive space for young people, but this behaviour has made it impossible for us to operate safely.

Our priority is always the wellbeing of everyone who uses the club, and we must take this step to protect our staff, our building and our community.

There will be NO boys club until January.

Council leaders urge Scottish Government to respect local democracy

Scotland’s Council Leaders today (Friday) said that any interference in the democratic decision making of Councils by Scottish Government Ministers is disrespectful.

Commenting following the meeting COSLA Resources Spokesperson Councillor Katie Hagmann said: “Council Leaders were absolutely clear today that it is not appropriate for Scottish Government Ministers to interfere in the democratic decision making of Councils.

“Leaders also reaffirmed in the strongest possible terms the principle that it should be for individual Local Authorities to set their own level of Council Tax without sanction or financial detriment imposed by Scottish Government.

“Leaders were clear that given the financial situation in which councils find themselves as a result of the proposed Scottish Budget, recurring penalties in relation to setting council tax levels should not be applied.

“I have been asked to seek confirmation from Scottish Government that there will be no further Council Tax freezes for the remainder of this Parliament.”
