Dumfries and Galloway Council’s SNP-Labour-led administration appears to be standing firm – despite Labour’s leader in Scotland Anas Sarwar describing it as “interim”.
The local parties struck a deal to run the council jointly with independents following the May council elections.
Labour’s Linda Dorward and the SNP’s Stephen Thompson were elected co-leaders – effectively renewing the previous five-year partnership between leader Elaine Murray and depute Rob Davidson, who both stepped down.
