OBAN Community Council denied claims it was holding secret meetings about an elected member after an email, apologising for absence, made the claim.
At Monday night’s meeting an email was read from councillor Julie McKenzie, Oban South and the Isles councillor, to say she would not be attending.
Ms McKenzie said: ‘Due to the previous complaint raised against me by Oban Community Council and the fact I’ve been advised that private meetings are still ongoing, involving members of Oban Community Council in relation to this complaint, I therefore regret I again sadly see no alternative to tendering my apologies in advance of tonight’s meeting.’
