Edinburgh Conservative Council election candidates announced

The full card of Conservative candidates for the Council election in 2012 is now available. There will be new faces in the Conservative group after May, as we see long serving councillors Alastair Paisley (Pentland Hills) & Kate MacKenzie (Almond) standing down, along with Gordon Buchan (Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart).



We're confident of gaining seats on the new council, and every seat is being worked hard & is in play. Despite initial bluster from the SNP no party has put forwards enough candidates to win an outright majority - but I'm hopeful our group will be larger than last time, & that we will be part of the administration getting Edinburgh back on track come May. The city has surely had enough drift over the last 5 years of SNP/Lib Dem shenanigans.
