Rather than being a luxury for those with time, on the contrary filtered streets such as Blackford Safe Routes enable both more sustainable and more convenient, faster local journeys.

Tory and Lib Dem support returns the Labour administration in Edinburgh for a second year. Labour is the third largest party on the council. #edinwebcast
👇 Spot on- must be a focus on warm homes (esp as Winter's still here)!
I've submitted a Q. to the Housing Convenor for the next #EdinWebcast on how Edinburgh should be helping mitigate #CostOfLivingCrisis & comfort uncertainty arising from draft Gov(s) budget statements. 💷🏡
All councillors are allowed just 3 minutes to speak about why they will support their party’s budget proposals and many (not all) have taken that option - but 62 councillors X 3 mins is a lot of minutes….. #edinwebcast
Edinburgh Bus Users Group @david_mccraw edi.bike | weekly news digest Councillor Jo Mowat Licensing sub-ctte cllrs can't comment on live TROs & can't take own policies / party lines into account as it's sub-judicial. We're there to take a view on whether we're satisfied the statutory Objections have been answered.
EdinWebcast has a few cttee TRO decisions already 1/2
