ELECTIONS called to nominate new members for Dennistoun Community Council have been scrapped after the current team stood unopposed.

Those who will continue to serve as local community councillors are Stephen Birrell, Frank Plowright, Ruth Jackson, Alistair Meek, Michael Melvin, Christine Quinn, Caitlin Quinn, Michele Coulter, Jennifer McGlone, Ruth Johnston, Brian Johnston, Lauren Dyer Amazeen, Jane Clarke, Elena Trimarchi, Wesley Wright and John Bones.

All 16 will be formally approved at a meeting on October 14.

A spokesman for Glasgow City Council said: "They will be duly elected unopposed at the meeting as the number of valid nominations received by the closing date of September 19 is less than the 17 vacancies."
