A BY-ELECTION will be held next year in Edinburgh following the shock resignation of a senior SNP councillor.
Former Lord Provost Frank Ross stepped down last Friday after serving more than 10 years on the council.
His decision came less than 24 hours after a City Chambers meeting where the SNP group abstained from a vote on whether businesses in the Roseburn area disrupted for months by roadworks should be helped financially by the council – a move Ross previously backed as the local councillor.
