Top firefighter spends £5000 on new office bathroom

SCOTLAND'S top firefighter has splashed out £5000 of public money on a luxury ensuite bathroom for his office.

Controversial Brian Sweeney ordered an upgrade of all the toilet facilities at Strathclyde Fire and Rescue HQ in Hamilton, Lanarkshire.

His bathroom now has a heated towel rail.

But a Brigade spokesman defended the cost, adding: "It is the first time in 20 years that it has been refurbished."

Sweeney was criticised last year for joining a £16,000-a-year private dining club then dating the director.
