I was pleased to be invited to a civic reception last night to recognise Bailie Ian Borthwick’s 50 years as a councillor. Ian is dedicated and well respected and his record of public service in Dundee is never likely to be repeated. The fact that he was first elected as a councillor before I was even born is amazing.
In the time I have shared with Ian on Dundee City Council I have always been impressed by his desire to stand up for what he considers to be fair and reasonable. Despite having different political beliefs Ian has always been generous to me with his advice. I would like to congratulate him on reaching this remarkable milestone.
