The SNP have made an offer to Labour to run a joint administration in West Lothian, it has emerged, in a bid to prevent a "grubby deal" between Labour and the Tories which would see the biggest party locked out of power.
The SNP have proposed a shared administration with a Labour Provost, an SNP depute, and an SNP council leader with a Labour deputy. Additionally the deputy would chair the important Partnership and Resources Policy Development and Scrutiny Panel (PDSP).
The release comes as the councillors met for final talks over the weekend ahead of a full meeting on Tuesday morning.
