Edinburgh Association of Community Councils (EACC)

To all in public service, to events staff, and to the volunteer agencies - thank you for your work, care and guidance on the way to the St Giles' vigil.

As Queen Elizabeth II comes to Lie at Rest at St Giles' Cathedral, the EACC offers its deepest thanks for her service to the city and the country.

@EdiDisgraces @Edinburgh_CC This is not EACC's only reform and empowerment initiative. There have been others. We hope you will join and support your local community council and encourage them to take part in the push for changes in the way the council engage with the ordinary people of this city.

@EdinCCs @Edinburgh_CC This does not seem to address how the Council might need to change the way it does things and how it listens and actually acts on CC input. Why join a CC to be ignored?

The Edinburgh Partnership paper on "Collaborative Working with the EDINBURGH ASSOCIATION of COMMUNITY COUNCILS" has just been published on the @Edinburgh_CC website for the 28 June meeting. democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/documents/s470…

One of a series of applications for removal of seemingly unloved & unsightly BT phone kiosks - however, proposal is to replace with 'street hubs' - an upright advertising structure with multiple functions but is this just more unnecessary street clutter? We're undecided - views?

The LEZ is "only 2.5% of the urban area of Edinburgh ... Key roads like Queen Street, for example, will be excluded from the low emissions zone and we will have polluting, non-compliant vehicles using these roads even more ... " Simon Holledge EACC bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotla…

@Daisynmurphy @RoyalSocEd Congratulations from EACC.

Thank you @EdinCCs. I have called repeatedly for better, more meaningful engagement between @Edinburgh_CC, and all of our city’s #CommunityCouncils. Let’s make that happen.
