Repair power ‘may change’

THE Scottish Government may look at changes to the council’s statutory notice powers following the completion of an internal investigation.

Alex Neil, Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure and Capital Investment, yesterday stated that the Scottish Government was open to looking at any recommendations of the council’s independent investigation.

Following a parliamentary question from Edinburgh Central MSP Marco Biagi, Alex Neil said: “The Scottish Government will take cognisance of any recommendations from the council as a result of the investigation.”
