City of Edinburgh Council still unable to choose new leadership

City of Edinburgh Council has been unable to form an administration to lead the local authority, three weeks on from the election.

A meeting on Thursday ended without an agreement.

However, the local authority has made temporary arrangements so urgent decisions can be made. Local services are continuing to operate as normal.

The SNP is the biggest party on the council but is well short of an overall majority.

The party has 19 councillors, compared to 18 for the Conservatives and 12 for Labour. The Greens won eight seats, with the Liberal Democrats on six.

It is unlikely a deal will be reached before next month's general election.
