@JohnSwinney @davidfkey Stop granting planning permission to AI data centres in Scotland that will only pay £24/mw - leaving us to foot the bill, just to profit a handful of people. You are in control of that at least.

Energy bills are rising again. Labour came to office promising to cut bills by £300. Instead they are up by nearly £200.
In energy-rich Scotland nobody should be struggling to pay their bills. The UK Budget next week must take action to bring bills down significantly.

This is Marine Esplanade, this week. With news of uncontrolled fly tipping in the news, can @Edinburgh_CC get on top of this now, before it all ends in the sea? (200 yards from NWH waste management group, by the way.) #flytipping

Why has this site (on Constitution Street by the tram) been a dump for 2 years now? @edinhelp

Venues are not recycling. The only venue that provided reusable plastic cups was @traversetheatre - and I saw several folk put theirs in the bin!

I love the fringe. But we need a serious conversation the monumental amount of waste - and what about the plastic cable ties for every single poster? @edfringe

@edfringe despite Fringe promises that they’d replace these bins with ones with a hatch as in previous years they haven’t done it. Virtually zero recycling as many of the visitors don’t have English as first language no international recycling ♻️ symbols.

Compare what Paris has done to its city Hall Square to plans for George Street, Edinburgh. Four trees. Why do our council leaders and officers suffer from such a lack of imagination?
Massimo@Rainmaker1973
Paris has removed the paving from its city hall square and transformed it into an urban forest.

@AngusRobertson This is a phone box from yesterday on St Giles Street, 50 yards from where you were standing. I love the fringe and tourism it brings. I don't love the city becoming a trash can. Can we reduce waste and improve recycling with the visitor levy?
English
✍️I want to hear constituents’ views on use of the Edinburgh’s Tourism Visitor Levy. While it is great to see the City in festival full swing, Edinburgh residents’ priorities must come first.

Simple zebra crossings are an easy and low-cost means of giving pedestrians priority.
@Sustrans latest report backs their wider use 👇

We now need UK Gov to give councils the power to make them commonplace.
Transport for All@TransportForAll
Disabled people are more likely to be injured by cars when we're walking or wheeling. Our new research with @Sustrans shows that adding zebra crossings to side streets makes drivers more like to stop for us. Read more: transportforall.org.uk/news/transform…

Note for Edinburgh Council. More LTNs and quiet streets mean we don't always need to build (very expensive) cycle lanes on every road...

Everyone should watch this! It's a delightful & joyous celebration of how we're transforming London into a cycling city. Brilliant to see ... but there's much more hard work to do. #LondonLovesCycling 🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲🚲 youtube.com/watch?v=OunBRd…
