YMCA are keen to find volunteer mentors - especially people from minority groups and those who are care-experienced. Could you help?

5 stages and over 40 miles smashed!! Only 30 more to go @SAMHtweets
With @transcotland showing a huge decrease in walking & cycling during Covid @Edinburgh_CC must be pretty embarrassed at all the money they wasted on unnecessary SfP schemes? Time for a public enquiry? @edinburghpaper @ge_moving @agcolehamilton @CraigMount4

Of course CEC won’t listen...the next council elections are 12 months away!!
DRUMBRAE GRIDLOCK: 🚗 Congestion ⬆️ 🚴Empty cycle lanes 🤷🏼‍♂️ 🚒 No room for emergency vehicles 👨‍🦽Parking restrictions for blue badge holders 🚴 Only a FIFTH of cyclists want lanes kept 🏘 76% of residents want cycle lanes REMOVED - only 15% want to retain #ListenToEdinburgh

Let’s hope other councils are paying attention @edinburghpaper @Edinburgh_CC
Well done to the local campaign 👏👏👏

In the interests of a balanced view, if you find these changes are making life hell, contact the same people and tell them that too! I’m sure they’d like to hear both sides of the story @TrafficLow @dhunter100 @CraigMount4 @lmacinnessnp @edinburghpaper

By some strange coincidence traffic on Maybury and Drumbrae has also been surprisingly low this morning.... perhaps CEC was looking in the wrong place to reduce traffic in East Craigs? @ge_moving @Mr_Mark_Brown @CraigMount4 @NoLTNEdinburgh @edinburghpaper @SueJWebber @dhunter100
⚠️Queensferry Crossing is shut (again) ⤴️Diversion is via Kincardine!? ⛔️Forth Road Bridge diversion not an option..... There was a testing of the diversion to use FRB but it is only being an option at WEEKENDS! When we are out of lockdown this will hamper the recovery

Very sensible suggestion from Rupa Huq MP
DAILY TELEGRAPH: Low Traffic Neighbourhoods amount to a ‘radical green anti-mobility agenda imposed without consultation’: @east_craigs @ge_moving @NoLTNEdinburgh @ec_ltn

East Craigs LTN on the agenda for TEC today - truth is it will have as much positive impact as banning alcohol at Temperance meetings  Sadly, when selecting sheep for the slaughter, @lmacinnessnp chose the wrong field @ge_moving @Mr_Mark_Brown
You forget that when we elected SfP to represent us, we gave them absolute power....oh, hang on...we didn’t elect them, did we? We elected a council to represent us! 🤬🤬
Hey @East_craigs @ge_moving @NoLTNEdinburgh @SaveColumbiaRd @KingsHeathLTN @one_lewisham @EalingOne @AndyNic9 This Edinburgh cllr, who voted for our LTN despite his own worry that a temp order was not right, openly broadcasts that communities don’t have a say on #SpacesForPeople

I think what @CllrScottArthur is saying is that when we elected SfP we gave them absolute power.....oh, hang on...we didn’t elect them to represent us did we???🤔
At last the truth and an admission from the SNP/LAB Administration in #Edinburgh that when it comes to #spacesforpeople communities don’t matter 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Just for clarity @CllrScottArthur - are you saying that CEC are obliged to do whatever #SpacesForPeople say they must do?? I don’t remember electing SfP to represent me
Deary me... 'This is NOT part of #SpacesforPeople so the community has a say' Really? So for clarity then, if the process comes under #SpacesforPeople then communities get no say in the matter? Is that right? Who decided that? What is going on with local democracy here?
