The actions of two ex-Edinburgh councillors are to be put under the spotlight following a complaint about their involvement in a vote to shut a heavily congested road near to where they both live.
Former Labour councillors Maureen Child and Karen Doran, who both stepped down at last year's election, will face a standards watchdog hearing over their participation in the controversial move to close Brunstane Road in Portobello.
The vote, held at a meeting of the transport committee in November 2021, was later re-run after it emerged the pair had previously declared an interest as local residents, sparking concern among council lawyers the closure could be open to legal challenge.
