Jenny Says "Nothing To Do With Us, Guv"

The Guardian's Edinburgh 'Beatblogger', Tom Allan, put out a call last week for questions to ask Edinburgh Council Leader Jenny Dawe, so I took the chance to see exactly what the council's stance was on the proposed biomass power plant for Leith docks.

Unfortunately it seems Ms Dawe has also taken the chance...to distance the Council from anything to do with the decisions about the plant. She claims (rather incredibly, it has to be said) that it's a Scottish Government decision and Edinburgh doesn't have a say. This is in the same week that East Lothian Council had a vote on the Cockenzie Power Plant proposals even though theoretically that is also a Scottish Government matter.

You can hear my (borderline sarcastic) question and her answer here:
