By Elections

[maggiebee]

SNPs have taken back the Labour seat in Perth City North. The Lib Dems have taken the Strathallan ward.  Feel Labour are on a shoogly peg in Scotland.

shoogly peg or not- these are local elections arent they?

Perth City North is one of the twelve wards used to elect members of the Perth and Kinross Council.

My postal vote is already in for the by election in Strathmartine Ward, Dundee today - six candidates so the result will be interesting.

I thought that meant last warning/chance or similar?

So if labour have won why would they be on last warning?

Is that anywhere near the place where the council decided it needed 15 "affordable"homes   ...   that cost £15million to build. 

[maggiebee]

YMB - don't understand your post. What means last warning?

Sorry, but labour have lost these seats, not won them.

Is this supposed to be in CB?  Just asking...🤔

[Togo]

Ahh found it. It was Dunbarton snp led council that built 15 "affordable" homes to what they call silver standard. They cost £8million or £533,000 each! The average cost of a new build is £150,000. Imagine what they would have cost built to gold standard.

Dundee City be-election results in.

SNPs hold Strathmartine ward

SNPs win Lochee ward from Scottish Labour

This means the SNPs retain control of Dundee City Council
