Today when the council meets there are a few changes. First of all the SNP group have a new leader Councillor Sandy Howat who represents Meadows/Morningside Ward, who also steps up to Deputy Council Leader at the same time.
Councillor Steve Cardownie stepped down as SNP group leader and Deputy Council Leader earlier this week, saying he wants to give someone else a chance and also that he wants to spend more time with his family.
This is also the first meeting of the council after the budget meeting in February, although we do not enter the new financial year until the beginning of April 2015.
