Councillors in four wards in the south and east of Glasgow had a generally high attendance rate.

Twelve of the 16 men and women who represent Pollokshields, Langside, Southside Central and Calton were present at three quarters, or more, of the committee meetings there were expected at.

And six of them had an attendance rate of better than nine out of ten.

The Glasgow Times obtained the attendance record at committee meetings for all 85 of the city’s councillors for the last three years.

Today, we present the records for the final four wards of our series this week.

It shows that two councillors had a rate of 95%, among the highest in the city as a whole.

Archie Graham, former Labour Group deputy leader, and long serving councillor for Langside, was present at 93 out of the 98 meetings he was expected at, including 100% for the 28 meetings last year.

Glasgow Times:

Mr Graham is a member of eight committees, including the City Administration Committee and the Social Enterprise Board.

It was matched by Mhairi Hunter, SNP councillor for Southside Central, who is also convenor of health and social care and chair of the Integrated Joint Board.

Glasgow Times:

Ms Hunter attended 80 out of 84 meetings in the last three years. She is also a member of the City Administration Committee.
