A multitasking Inverness provost was spotted washing her living room windows while taking part in a council debate. Glynis Campbell Sinclair talked strongly at the meeting before getting up to do some cleaning.
In the debate, which can be viewed on the Highland Council’s recorded meetings page online, the provost waves her cloth in front of the camera before nipping out of shot to pick up a bowl of water.
She then carries the bowl of water across the room before she begins to wash her windows. She can then be seen looking at her phone before running towards the camera to switch it off.
