COMHAIRLE nan Eilean Siar (Western Isles Council) is to have more women involved in council decision-making processes.
At the last local government election, no women were elected onto the comhairle.
The policy and resources committee has agreed to appoint women to human resources panels and each of the comhairle’s working groups. The comhairle has a number of such groups which allows members and officers to consider particular areas of policy and strategy.
