Under-fire Argyll and Bute Council leader James Robb came under growing pressure this evening as Councillor Fred Hall, representing Oban South and the Isles, resigned from the SNP council group – claiming that “ideological differences” mean that it would be dishonest to remain as an administration member.
His resignation comes just weeks after another respected SNP councillor, Dunoon member Michael Breslin, quit the administration.
