SNP to call for referendum on troubled capital trams project

THE people of Edinburgh could be asked to decide on scrapping the city's troubled trams scheme.

Steve Cardownie, deputy leader at the council and head of the SNP group, will call for the referendum at a meeting tomorrow.

The last time the council sought the people’s opinion was in 2005 when controversial congestion charges for the city were rejected.
