Doctored alumni pic belonging to the council (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

municipal

'belonging to the council' is the definition.

'doctored alumni pic' is the wordplay.
'doctored' is an anagram indicator.
'alumni'+'pic'='alumnipic'
'alumnipic' anagrammed gives 'MUNICIPAL'.

(Other definitions for municipal that I've seen before include "Relating to a town or district" , "Borough" , "Run by the council" , "of one's town" , "Relating to a town/district with local government" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
