Proposed ; E. South. Seconded; R. Fraser. Previous minutes read by Chairman. 1/ The Community Council would like to know what N/L/C. are doing concerning the boundary split of Chapelhall. Chapelhall has always been post-coded as by Airdrie,while Mul1,Iona Brownsburn Estate and Moffat Mills are all Airdrie. The Airdrie districts should be placed together as one electoral ward ,while Chapelhall should remain as one ward outside Airdrie. 2/ Should the local councillor objecttothe proposed boundary SPlit thereby leaving himself open to expulsion from the La bour party,he would be doing so in representing the people who voted him into office. We feel it is wrong that a councillor cannot act in the best interest of his constituents without such threats hanging over his head. 3/Co-opted on to Community Council, Mary Smith, 72 Queens Crescent. Proposed- E.South Seconded- R.Fraser. 4/ The next Community Council meeting will take place in the Senior Citizen's Centre, Lauchope Street on Wednesday 29th April 1998.
