Councillors put head downas rubbish piles up

Yet again the ruling councillors of Edinburgh have put their heads down and when their is bad news sent in the spokeswoman to explain to the taxpayers of Edinburgh that the £1.13 million the council paid for four of the vehicles may well have been wasted.

According to the Evening News, engineers were brought in to fix the problems, but the council had warned they did not know how long repairs would take.

John Stevenson, city of Edinburgh branch secretary for Unison, the public sector union, said: "Unison members are working hard to make up for this problem. Budgets are tight enough without being wasted on vehicles which are obviously not fit for the job."
