Council’s Edinburgh Tram Inquiry costs rise by another £100,000

City Councillors are set to allocate another £100,000 of taxpayers cash to cover costs associated with the Edinburgh Tram Inquiry.

Over eight years in the making, the inquiry looking into the botched construction of the city's Airport to York Place line is expected to publish findings in the next six months.

It comes as tram testing begins on the new extension through Leith to Newhaven, a section which was initially supposed to be completed as part of the first line before the project was scaled back.
