The new Labour leader of Edinburgh City Council has said there will be "no dodgy deals with the Conservatives" during his premiership.
Cammy Day faced a backlash and dissent from two Labour members following a decision to offer two committee posts to the Conservatives to take Labour's plan to form a minority administration over the line.
Councillors voted 34 to 29 in favour of Labour taking control of the council on Thursday (May 26) as an amendment tabled by the group was backed by Tories and the Lib Dems, who will also see members take-up paid convener roles as part of the agreement, which Cllr Day stressed is not a coalition, nor a deal.
