BREAKAWAY socialist party Solidarity has chosen a union steward as its candidate for next month's Forth ward council by-election.
The party, formed by one-time MSPs Tommy Sheridan and Rosemary Byrne, will be represented by Willie Black, a steward with the Unite union who works for ScottishPower.
Mr Black lives in Granton and has been active in community campaigns in the area for over 30 years.
The contest, to fill the seat left after the death last month of veteran Labour councillor Elizabeth Maginnis, will take place on Thursday November 6 , the same day as the Glenrothes Westminster by-election.
