Leith is one of Scotland's (& the UK's) most densely populated neighbourhoods with loads of people walking, using a wheelchair, pushing a pram, or cycling down/across Easter Road.
But many drivers I spoke to also want to see calming measures & improvements. www.deadlinenews.co.uk/2025/10/10/e...

I had an emotional tour of the new North Edinburgh Arts building in Muirhouse today with @sannedd.bsky.social. Since I was elected I have worked with NEA and the previous UK Gov to get funding they deserved. It was wonderful to see the result of the investment which is having such an impact.

Piece-by-piece there are wee but significant changes planned, even if that means reviewing an Edinburgh-wide policy.

New tactile paving set-up to be trialled in Morningside
A new tactile paving set-up to help people struggling with sight move around the city more safely is to be trialled in Morningside. The trial was approved by councillors after charities for sight impaired people raised concerns over “continuous footways”, or raised pavements at junctions, in the city due to inadequate accessibility provision. Their main concern is that tactile paving – bumps or strips in the ground that help sight impaired people understand if they are near a road or another hazard – often either don’t exist near junctions or are installed in a haphazard way.

We live in a world where the US President has threatened tariffs and flirted with the idea of trade wars.
We must show Trump that the UK has alternatives and won’t be bullied into taking whatever he offers us- to do that, we need a closer, stronger relationship with Europe.
