“He made a great contribution to the first term of the council, which was formed in 1996, forging positive working relationships with other new councillors and members of staff.

“My thoughts are with Rosemary and the rest of the family at this sad time.”

Cumbernauld South councillor Allan Graham added: “As a family friend, Jim was first and foremost a family man and a constant support to Rosemary when she was the MP from 1997 until 2010.

“Like Councillor Logue my thoughts are with Rosemary and the family at this sad time.”
