SIC councillor Amanda Westlake is apparently an SNP supporter, which she conveniently failed to disclose when she canvassed.
Is she setting herself up to be a list SNP candidate at the next election for Alistair Carmichael’s job?

They may never be able to attend to see that , or any other dentist, for for treatment ever again!! However they will still be registered.
