**STOP PRESS**



I don't always have positive things to say about North Lanarkshire Council (NLC), but the good news is that the Council has finally responded with the information that Action 4 Equality Scotland requires to send out individual letters to all NLC equal pay claimants.  

 Now as I explained the other day, A4ES will take some time to turn this around (the best estimate is 5 working days) because there over 3,000 clients involved, but this means that by the middle of next week we should be 'good to go'.

 So credit where credit's due and, albeit later than expected, some folks at NLC deserve a small pat on the back. 

 Who knows, maybe the chief executive (Gavin Whitefield) put his shoulder to the wheel after all.

 In any event I will have more to say in the days ahead and will let people know via the blog site when the process of sending letters out actually gets underway.

 In other words - watch this space.

One regular reader suggests raising the matter on the floor of the Scottish Parliament which is a good idea, but requires an MSP who's prepared to put down a written question for Scottish Ministers to answer. So here's a list of activities which will help shine a light on what has been going on because as Lord Nolan once said apropos driving up standards in public life - 'daylight is the best disinfectant'. Write to the leader of Glasgow City Council Write to the Chief Executive of Glasgow City Council Write to all elected members in Glasgow City Council Write to the party leaders in Glasgow City Council W
