FORMER Edinburgh council leader Adam McVey has slammed the Labour administration for being “asleep at the wheel” as bin strikes left the city in a “shameful” state.
The SNP group leader, who represents Leith, told The National that he was “disgusted” by Labour’s actions amid the dispute over pay with council staff, adding that the strikes could have been averted if they hadn’t forced through an original pay offer of 3.5%.
