Edinburgh's Christmas market could be brought into public ownership, after it was claimed the chaos surrounding this year's event could leave the city up to £3 million worse-off.
The collapse of a £5.5m three-year contract between the authority and Angel Event Experience (AEE) to run stalls and amusements in the city centre cast doubt on this year's 'Edinburgh's Christmas' events - until plans were salvaged earlier this month.
At a council meeting today Council leader Cammy Day again apologised for the problems and promised a full review of what happened, but insisted it was down to a contractor 'walking off the job'.
