The new leader of the opposition group on Dumfries and Galloway Council has this week warned of turbulent times ahead for the local authority.
Annandale North Councillor Gail Macgregor, who now heads up the Conservatives group, had some choice words at the first council meeting of the new term today.
Mrs Macgregor had hoped her group could form a minority administration with other political groups, but the door was slammed shut when SNP, Labour, Lib Dems and independent councillors joined forces to take control of the council.
