Councillors cleared by probe
The North Edinburgh Trust reported all members of the Forth council ward after accusing them of "inaccuracies" in a joint letter sent to trust officials.
But the Public Standards Commissioner for Scotland has now confirmed it has cleared Steve Cardownie, Cammy Day, Elaine Morris and Alan Jackson of any wrongdoing, meaning the issue will not be passed on to the Standards Commission to investigate.
