@Holledge @iamonabeach @iratesheep @jomowat @cllr_jenkinson @FinlayMcF @rsmcksg @SimitaSKumar @sto_paul Yes. I think that’s about it. But there are far better ways of doing it than messing with Rose St.

@thecockburn I opposed this outright today. Unfortunately, others wouldn’t listen and left the possibility open.

@iamonabeach @iratesheep @Holledge @jomowat @cllr_jenkinson @FinlayMcF @rsmcksg @SimitaSKumar @sto_paul There was a Green addition to recommendations previously that asked officers to investigate alternative cycle route to George St when works taking place. (I’d say if not when as there is no money).

@iamonabeach @iratesheep @Holledge @jomowat @cllr_jenkinson @FinlayMcF @rsmcksg @SimitaSKumar @sto_paul Well I lost the vote 9-2 so I don’t think we can stop them unless councillors from other parties wake up.

@iamonabeach @ifeeltheneed_ @Iain_L The delay is not to implementation. It’s to the transition period to pre implementation charging on future bookings. ETAG made a deputation about it. STA had a written submission. FSB wrote to us. There is a paper from CEC officers explaining but it hasn’t been added to agenda.

@ifeeltheneed_ @iamonabeach @Iain_L Edinburgh by employment sector. I got all the figures from Edinburgh by Numbers that the Council produces or the appendices of the CEC paper on TVL to P&S committee.

@JohnfaeScotland @cuthbertneil @EdinburghTories Labour got the other seat but vote down on 2022. Fed up of SNP and fed up of the supposedly local Lib Dem who was elected in November then immediately resigned to move to Dubai.
