The Ulster Unionist Party’s local government spokesperson, Tom Elliott MLA, has welcomed figures which relate to full meetings of the Council, and indicate that Ulster Unionist councillors have the best attendance record of all parties, at 91 per cent.
Mr Elliott said:
“This analysis which shows that Ulster Unionist councillors have the highest level of attendance across the Province is evidence of the hard work and dedication shown by my party colleagues in council chambers throughout Northern Ireland.
“For many years Ulster Unionist councillors have provided value for money to local ratepayers. Their excellent attendance record is further proof of our continued commitment to delivering high quality services and providing best value for the ratepayers.
“The Ulster Unionist Party candidates will offer the high level of public service which has been the hallmark of Ulster Unionist councillors down the years, and as the Party’s local government spokesperson, I look forward to working with them once they have been elected to the new larger councils.”
