Jane Meagher becomes new Edinburgh Council leader, promising focus on services and reducing poverty.

Jane Meagher was appointed as the new leader of the Edinburgh Council, succeeding Cammy Day who resigned due to allegations of sending inappropriate messages to Ukrainian refugees. Despite efforts by the SNP and Greens to form a coalition, Labour maintained control in a minority administration, supported by Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties. Meagher pledged to focus on services, poverty reduction, and achieving net zero by 2030.
