Dickins Edinburgh@DickinsEdin·
Sitting here this morning and reflecting on what I’ve needed to go through - 2 JRs vs CEC and thousands of hours of personal time and stress not to mention the impact on family life, to prove conclusively that the way Dickins lets homes has always been lawful. If I hadn’t done all of that though, @Edinburgh_CC would have happily eradicated my legal business. @PaulMcLennan7 had the opportunity to say that mid term rentals were OK in the Red Flags and he chose to say no. So am I glad this morning that I stood up and fought for my rights. But I should never have needed too. It gives no faith in @scotgov ability to make legislation and no faith in @Edinburgh_CC either. They fought me as hard as they were able to close me down. What a mess has been created. Whilst I feel clear Dickins has a future this morning, hundreds of excellent people running businesses still do not. @SaveSCScotland @ASSCnews

A great result and vindication of your efforts on both judicial reviews. Without success on both JR1 and JR2, this appeal would have been unsuccessful. Some grand claims have been made by some, that business like yours have ‘always’ been operating unlawfully and planning permission was ‘always’ required. This decision by the DPEA shows planning permission was not required, is not required now, and you and your customers were operating perfectly lawfully all along.

@DrScottArthurMP hilarious hypocrisy! One of the main supporters of wiping out licensed self-catering accomodation & also responsible for data breaches - encouraging vigilantes to hate on stl owners! You may have forgotten but us voters haven't! @SaveSCScotland @EdinburghLabour

Visitor Levy: Quarterly returns. Complex % (not a flat fee). Monthly figures. 5-year record retention. Already drowning in compliance? This levy adds cost, not value! £2 kept for every £100 collected - to do all the work! Next year? Quarterly updates to HMRC too. #SaveSC

Visitor Levy = new tracking, new records, new penalties. Quarterly returns plus monthly breakdowns. HMRC wants quarterly tax updates. No simplification - more admin. Solution: £1 per night, flat fee Fair for visitors, workable for businesses, minimal admin. Simples! #SaveSC

This is a chaotic shambles - and someone needs to take leadership and call a halt. Accommodation providers didn’t have 9 months to prepare when @Edinburgh_CC only sent formal comms on 17 Sept, some arriving this week by untracked post. You can’t lay this at the doors of @Airbnb or @bookingcom - they can only work within the legislation and tech they’ve been given. This chaos lies with @ScotGov legislation and CEC’s rushed implementation, knowing full well it would end in a car crash. Operators are now at risk of criminal prosecution for circumstances entirely beyond their control. #GoodGovernance #PolicyFailure #RegulatoryChaos #FairRegulation #ScotlandTourism @ASSCnews @st_alliance @MCrothall heraldscotland.com/news/25534705.…

When did it become normal for young people to attend job interviews, often in person, and hear nothing afterwards? No yes. No no. No anything. Total radio silence. HR departments have grown like topsy; peddle endless DEI ‘Be Kind’ twaddle; yet treat young jobseekers with contempt

Yesterday, I attended an extremely constructive meeting with Cllr Jane Meagher, Leader of @Edinburgh_CC, and the planning team, joined by @ASSCnews Director Paul Phillips and members Eddie Harper (Harpers Concierge Services) and Duncan Forbes. We highlighted the real-life impacts of current policies and requested urgent clarity on how planning enforcement will be applied to responsible, licenced operators. Clear guidance would help focus resources on unlicenced activity while providing reassurance to compliant businesses who are meeting both licensing and tax obligations.

Customer service at its best from @Edinburgh_CC where applicants must fight through a submission system that does not allow uploads of all files & then you're told you have 24 hours to provide the rest or your application's cancelled! The tail that wags the dog. #SaveSC @Assc

@theipaper You might want to mention that she campaigns for Living Rent - major players in the ideological campaign against self catering businesses in Edinburgh. Hardly a random resident.

The tourist levy is actually a tax on everyone & now it seems it's an excuse for opportunists to fleece locals & visitors alike. Bill + VAT + Tip + Levy + VAT + MadeUp% = TOO MUCH #SaveSC #touristtax #visitorlevy #touristlevy

Those who play by the rules get flayed by the rules. Those who ignore the rules, as you were. Everything's golden. #SaveSC

@rock_shamrock @SaveSCScotland @LBC @LBCNews @NickFerrariLBC The professional industry spend up to £10,000 per STL on COLs, planning, licensing and professional fees only to be refused retrospective planning. Meanwhile chancers enter the market with no license or planning or any of the massive costs. The blanket ban created a free for all.

This beggars belief. @Edinburgh_CC The haters were so happy for all the applicants details to be public too. Oh the irony when they need to share their own…..

Trying to claim the STL legislation as a success is truly trying to pull the wool over the eyes of Scotland. The scheme is a mess with so many unresolved issues. The SNP need to claim this as a success seems to be clouding their ability to acknowledge the many outstanding issues and resolve them. Pretty much the only success so far is adding to the inflationary costs. And that’s not success in my world.

We introduced legislation allowing councils to control and manage short-term lets, ensuring: ✔️ Fairer access to housing ✔️ Stronger protections for communities ✔️ Better standards for renters and owners
