It is a shame that SNP councillor for Wick, Gail Ross was caught-up in Rob Gibson’s swinging-of-the-lead regarding expenses, as she remains a highly popular councillor in the town who was returned with a stonking majority at the recent elections.
Now the Caithness Courier reports that her fellow councillors in Caithness have elected her to the titular, non-remumerated role of civic leader for the county. There is little doubt that Rob Gibson is keeping the Holyrood constituency seat warm for someone with her or new Landward councillor, Alex Macleod being likely candidates; so this only will improve her chances in it or the Westminster seat at the next election.
