(2008) Councillor John Holden will no longer be entitled to attend Labour group meetings or represent the party in any capacity. The decision comes as colleagues moved to defend the councillor, claiming he is one of the hardest-working elected members of Highland Council. The Inverness Courier exclusively revealed on its website yesterday afternoon that Councillor Holden's home in Drakies was searched on Monday in a joint operation by Northern Constabulary, Highland Council and fraud investigators from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP). It is understood various items, including computer equipment and paperwork, were seized during the swoop which is believed to involve benefit fraud.
