Financial climate prompts Councillor Helen Oswald to turn down conference
ByNews reporter
A Carnoustie councillor has decided to ease the burden on the public purse and pull out of attending the annual COSLA conference and awards dinner this year.
Helen Oswald said she took decision in light of the financial climate.
This year’s event takes place at the Fairmont in St Andrews.
Delegates from councils across the country will be treated to lunch, dinner and two nights of entertainment, including drinks receptions on both nights, in between discussions on local government matters.
