@stephenjenkinson.bsky.social - this should be an urgent safety priority to install some kind of crossing here on Westfield Road. It would also slow down the motorway speed of traffic as it exits and approaches the WAR which is unmonitored and completely out of hand

@edinburghcouncil.bsky.social - this is ridiculous and needs fixing asap

The UK version of “Project 2025” by the Reform party includes a British ICE, a concentration camp for 24,000 people, mass surveillance and withdrawing from refugee, anti-torture and anti-trafficking conventions. It’s on their website. That’s how comfortable fascists are in the UK today.

Silverknowes Road being returned to cars and car parking after a typically disingenuous campaign by the Edinburgh Liberal Democrats. Never let those lying sellouts tell you they give a shit about carbon reduction, climate change, active travel or road safety.

Scotland must act on the rise of SUVs. These heavier vehicles increase road maintenance costs, take up more space, and pose a greater risk to pedestrians. The public should not bear the cost of larger, more dangerous cars.

@rosssmckenzie.bsky.social pedestrians sacrificed on a caged narrow pavement so cars can have a wide junction to race in off the motorway slip road of the WAR on roseburn street. This must be difficult or impossible for some. Nothing on other side at all. Any chance of a revision here?

"Cycling is not a practical daily travel option for most people." In 2022, 26% of car trips in the UK were shorter than 1 mile, and 71% were under 5 miles. A 5-mile bike ride takes around 30 minutes. Provide people with the option to cycle and build more safe infrastructure

Stop Musk from funding far-right politics in the UK! I just signed this petition 'Tighten the rules on political donations' - it's nearly at 30,000 signatures - can you add your name too? - petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Pity Farage wasn’t asked about this - he should be forced to own it @bbclaurak.bsky.social @theneweuropean.bsky.social

Golf courses don't belong in cities

Just a reminder that roughly 5.5% of Edinburgh is golf courses.

I love how Denmark isn’t taking any shit from Donald Trump. 🇩🇰 🤣

I’m old enough to remember Boris Johnson telling businesses Brexit paperwork could go in a bin. Now they need a warehouse to store it in

This morning's commute in #Edinburgh from Russel Road along the new #Roseburn Path extension to the Canal. Wonderful and a game changer, cutting out Russel Road, Murieston Place, Ardmillan Terrace and Harrison Road (4.5x speed). #CyclingToWork #CyclingInEdinburgh

I’m confident a new e-bike hire scheme can be in place by next summer and that it’ll prove popular with both visitors and residents alike 🚴‍♂️ www.scotsman.com/news/transpo...
