At Thursday's Transport Committee we proposed not going to consultation on the Roseburn Path tram route given: 1) Lack of £44mil pre-construction costs 2) More info promised 3) Public backlash Unfortunately all other parties voted to blunder ahead regardless.

“We need a high-voltage jolt such as having World Heritage status removed to make council leaders treat our problems seriously.” Written about Edinburgh but could also be about Bath. People are fed up with Councils’ #NetZero agendas ruining our cities. thetimes.co.uk/article/66a6ec…

Hi @LidlGB you got planning permission after appeal for 64-66 Seafield Road, Edinburgh in May 2021. The site has now lain empty for a while. Are you going to do anything with it?

Untruth piled upon untruth. This is the results of an auction process started by the Tories in March. Their 2023 auction round produced no deals because the subsidies were not big enough. So they increased the subsidises for the 2024 round. Hence the take up under you, even

In Colinton Fairmilehead by-election it’s a straight choice between Scottish Conservatives Neil Cuthbert and Labour - who have no candidate yet With a the large number of older people, will the removal of their Winter Fuel Payment by Labour influence the result?

🚨WARNING! 🚨 There's a milk thief about in the Meadowbank area of Edinburgh. Early this Monday morning and obviously filling a bag of more than one theft! Didn't even leave one of the three pints belonging to the (very) elderly resident. Video: bit.ly/4db1nVh
