⚠️ Serious incident at Threipmuir Reservoir today. A person entered the ice to rescue a dog that fell through. Thankfully they returned safely, but the dog was not recovered. Frozen reservoirs are dangerous—please keep safe in the Pentland Hills this winter.

This is a really welcome initiative by Edinburgh Trams 👏 edinburghtrams.com/news/free-al...

I want to invest in bus priority measures across the city but the SNP Government keep cutting the available budget. Unfortunately for the citizens of Edinburgh this is the direct result. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚨Braids Estate update - I believe pausing the implementation of this scheme is the right thing to do at this time. We will have to wait until after the Standards Commission hearing in March before deciding what the next steps are. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

Well done to Gail on the number 15 this morning. Lothians best dressed driver, won Christmas and made everyone smile 👏👏👏

🚊 Ian Swanson is going to be busy over the next few months if he writes an article every time an armchair expert sends a “I have a better idea” email! www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

Very busy Balerno Farmers Market today on Christmas Tree day 🎄

We had great fun out in the campaign trail with Catriona Munro for Edinburgh South Western in Balerno today 👍

I was really gutted to miss this year’s event. The team at Big Noise do a fantastic job in the Wester Hailes community, and I’m sure the kids were as brilliant as ever. theedinburghreporter.co.uk/2025/12/big-...

Every year my father-in-law makes us a Christmas wreath for our front door… but this year he’s truly outdone himself! 🎄👏

The incremental rollout of this scheme is going really well. Over 200,000 km cycled since September shows the demand was always there and we are on track to have city-wide coverage early next year. www.google.com/url?rct=j&sa...

Cllr McKenzie had no chance of re-election as an independent. This move was expected.

No wonder, Edinburgh is the best city on the planet 👍 www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

This is very weak👇 www.scotsman.com/news/transpo...

Corstorphine Connections Project. “I’m pleased that we’ve now reached the final stage of construction which will deliver footway improvements to Manse Road and Kirk Loan.” www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2025/12/03/f...

It is really good to be breaking ground on this project 👏 www.edinburgh.gov.uk/news/article...

I suspect I’m not the only one who thinks it would have been easier (and quicker) to knock it down and build another hotel! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

🚂Some good news as Curriehill Station improves its parking facilities 👍 www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

Tucking into my first Christmas dinner of the year with Balerno Community Council after the Xmas lights switch on tonight🎄

Interesting day ahead discussing regional transport infrastructure and initiatives at the SEStran Transport Summit.

🚉Edinburgh Trams have published their festive schedule you can find out the details here 👇 edinburghtrams.com/news/christm...

I’m really pleased to see Officers take this enforcement action. I’ve always believed in working with businesses to encourage the right behaviour — I’m definitely more of a carrot-than-stick person. But sometimes, when all else fails, the stick is the only option left.

Really good Edinburgh Inquirer article from Cory Boyle here on the need to take bold steps to tackle Edinburgh’s current and future congestion woes. www.edinburghinquirer.co.uk/p/were-one-o...

👏

“The tram is a potentially transformational development for Edinburgh, and we owe it to future generations to be bold and ambitious.” www.edinburgh.gov.uk/news/article...

Over 11,000 residents took part in the North–South tramline consultation — incredible engagement 🙌 Huge thanks to everyone who shared their views. Your feedback will now be analysed ahead of the Transport & Environment Committee next year. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

✨🚌 What an amazing day at Currie Primary School! 🚌✨ I had such a fantastic time at today’s LoveMyBus session. The energy from the pupils was incredible — so many brilliant questions, bright ideas, and big smiles!

Honoured to stand on the High Street in Edinburgh today for the Remembrance Day service. A powerful reminder of courage, sacrifice, and gratitude. 🌺

I was delighted to attend the Lochend Community Road Safety event today organised by Living Rent and held at Craigentinny Community Centre. The themed cup cakes will go down a treat this afternoon!

Good news for Edinburgh’s city car club members. I’m looking forward to working with Enterprise as we seek to grow this important piece of the cities transport jigsaw. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

I’ve been consistent in my opposition to allowing PHVs into bus lanes. I do however think it is worth exploring allowing PHVs and Black Cabs access through certain bus gates if the data and evidence proves it can aid city mobility. www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinbur...

I’m proud to represent the Ratho community and improving public transport in rural west Edinburgh is important to me. I’m delighted Officers have continued to work hard to improve service provision for Ratho. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

I popped out to Riccarton Mains Road this afternoon to check on the resurfacing progress. We are two weeks into a six week program and things are starting to take shape. Thankfully the crater like set of potholes at the end of Weaver’s Knowe Crescent are also being tackled as part of this work.

We were out campaigning in Currie this morning with Catriona Munro for Edinburgh South Western no love for the SNP here that’s clear!

I’m looking forward to attending this event next month. I think it’ll be an important listening exercise and an opportunity to learn more about what steps we can take to tackle this emerging issue. www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2025/10/23/l...

Well done Jarlath and thanks for all you do to get these initiatives up and running it is very much appreciated 👏

“I’m delighted that we’re moving to the next phase of expanding our cycle hire scheme. The figures we’ve seen speak for themselves in terms of uptake, with hundreds of journeys being made across our city each and every day.

✈️ Aeroplanes are one mode of transport that don’t fall into my remit however important changes to airspace above the city are being considered. You can learn more about the proposals here 👇 scottishairspacemodernisation.co.uk And have your say here 👇 www.edinburghairport.com/whats-your-v...
