Drew Hendry: "The only current, legally competent way to devolve Council power to Nairn is with the new area Committee We are committed to this"

Earlier today we posted a short article which used the title "Nairn no chance of getting more powers says Council", this was a headline to an article published in the Courier today. The Gurn article attracted a swift response on twitter from Drew Hendry the leader of the current Council administration.

@gurnnurn The Admin haven't released anything! What you have is legal advice that the Council have no power to devolve to community councils
