II APPEAL AGAINST DISMISSAL

It was reported that an appeal against dismissal from an employee of Neighbourhood Services had been submitted.

After questions had been put and answers given by both parties to each other and the witnesses and by members of the Sub-Committee, the parties withdrew.

Thereafter, following careful consideration of all the information, the Sub-Committee agreed that the grounds of the appeal had not been substantiated and the appeal be not upheld.

Councillor Cruickshank intimated her dissent from the foregoing decision.
