The SNP is urging Labour to back its proposals for a minority administration in East Renfrewshire, as both parties bid for control of the council.
Despite the SNP being the largest single party, Labour intends to run East Renfrewshire Council as a minority administration with support from two independent councillors, Danny Devlin and David Macdonald. That move would end a coalition with the SNP, and Cllr Devlin, which has controlled the local authority during the past two terms.
East Renfrewshire’s SNP group wants to form a “progressive alliance to lock the Tories out of power” and has said Labour should "rule out any backroom deal" with the Conservatives.
