SNP reshuffle their team at the City Chambers

Following their AGM earlier in the week the SNP Group has announced changes to its frontline team.

Cllr Adam McVey remains leader and has announced some alterations to their key spokespeople.

Leader of the SNP Group Cllr Adam McVey said: “This is a strong team to take the Labour, Tory, LibDem administration to task for the repeated failures and broken promises we’ve seen in the last year. 

“SNP councillors have led on key issues like protecting staff conditions, in housing services, fighting horrendous cuts to education and social care services, preventing drug deaths, promoting equality and the refurbishment of the King’s Theatre. We will continue to push to make progress for our city and carry the trust of our residents with care.

The enhanced team allows the fantastic talent we have in the group and helps make an even more positive impact for our capital.”
