Good morning! Today, Edinburgh Lib Dem councillors are bringing four proposals to the monthly Council meeting 👇🔶
ALT EDINBURGH COUNCIL MEETING: 29th OCT 2026 LIB DEM KEY ASKS: Strengthen Veterans’ access to housing. Fix the loopholes in Short Term Let rules. Expand access to the city archives. Support for artists and charities being evicted.
Councillor @JackRMCaldwell is calling for support for Edinburgh artists and charities who won't have a space next year. edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edi…
We're having a great time at #SLDConf today in Edinburgh!
From housing, to environment, to education, members are shaping policy that will shape Scotland. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/ck9d…
Affordable Childcare for working parents is one of many tools we can use to help prevent poverty.
Yesterday, Councillor Louise Young won cross-party support for transitional funding among the latest review. edinburghlibdems.org/news/ar…
"Budget by budget, bill by bill, case by case, we will use our leverage as MSPs to get things done.
Change with fairness at its heart is not just a campaign slogan."
- Edinburgh North Western MSP @agcolehamilton edinburghnews.scotsman.com/n…
Edinburgh West MP Christine Jardine: "The only way to clean up the mess is by getting far closer to our European allies; a future voters support and one our stability and security depend on." edinburghnews.scotsman.com/n…
Last month, only Lib Dem & SNP councillors backed this vital uplift for community arts organisations.
While Labour & the Greens finally u-turn today to support a 25% uplift, they've dragged the process out & caused uncertainty for artists across the city. scotsman.com/arts-and-cultur…
Two years after the Scottish Government refused to fund the tram, we were promised answers.
Instead, this report confirms the Council is no closer to finding the tens of millions needed for a business case, let alone the £bns required for construction. edinburghlibdems.org/news/ar…
Tomorrow, Edinburgh Council will decide if and how Princes Street should be improved.
We believe now is the time to be bold. A radical rethink and a sustainable future is needed. The status quo isn't working. theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2…
Just under an hour & a half left to vote for an amazing Lib Dem community champion in the Edinburgh by-elections!

In the last week, Liberal Democrat Councillors got some key wins for our city.
From public transport resilience, to compassionate housing policies, to fair funding for cultural organisations, our 14-strong Council Group continue to make a difference.
ALT Key Lib Dem wins: end of August 2026: A full review into the 50-day tram outage and resilience for future tram operations. Keeping Management Panel oversight and support while the Council ends its suspension on new Council home lettings. A much fairer funding uplift for arts and culture organisations across the city.
“Scottish Liberal Democrats will fight for a proper investment in youth work so that we can give young people the choices and the futures they deserve.” - Edinburgh Northern MSP @SanneDD edinburghnews.scotsman.com/n…
"The Lib Dems are really strong on making sure Edinburgh stays a welcoming, inclusive city for everyone, even in the face of a darkening political climate.” heraldscotland.com/news/2645…
"A review should be thorough & involve all the key organisations managing the city centre so we're better prepared for future emergencies.
Edinburgh can't afford to see its principal street closed for weeks because of a single incident." - Cllr Lang edinburghnews.scotsman.com/n…
