The council in Edinburgh is now to be run as a coalition between the larger Labour Group and the SNP group following a signed coalition agreement as we reported last week.
These are the appointments which the SNP councillors are to take up from next week.
Interesting fact about the new Convener of Culture and Leisure:- he is a conductor…
This is what the SNP website says about him:-“Born in Sydney, Richard grew up in both Edinburgh and Australia. After attending James Gillespie’s High School, he completed a B.A. (Hons) in Music at Magdalen College, Oxford and a Masters at Edinburgh University before working in Mannheim, Germany for some time. He has since worked as a freelance musician and conductor in Austria, Hungary, Australia, Denmark, Belgium and Ireland.”
