MOTION

2.1 Notice of Motion by Councillor Young referred by Council on 21st November, 2007:-
“This Council supports the Convener of the Joint Police Board in his attempt to obtain more police officers for Grampian Police by pointing out the disparity between Grampian Police and the rest of Scotland’s police forces and calls on the First Minister to fully fund Grampian Police. This Council points out that Grampian Police are currently under funded and that in order for Grampian Police to work for the betterment of Aberdeen’s communities this Council calls on the Scottish Executive to provide Grampian Police with the extra £20m it deserves in order that its funding matches Strathclyde Police authority.”
