City debates event invites

COUNCILLORS are to decide whether the city council should be represented at two national conferences.

The council has been invited to the improvement service annual conference, organised by local government representative Cosla, in St Andrews on March 9-11. The event costs 180 for a day delegate on March 9 or 495 for the full residential package. But March 10 is due to be the date of a meeting of the full council.

The Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy has also invited the council to its annual conference in Dundee on March 17-18, at a cost of 495.

Councillors will decide whether to send a delegate at a meeting on Thursday.
