๐๐๐ถโโ๏ธ๐ด๐พโโ๏ธ๐ฉ๐ผโ๐ฆผWe have seen draft plans for the new Polwarth junction design, and they look good! We believe these improvements address our community's safety concerns.
๐๏ธPublic consultation starts later in the summer.
๐ฃ๏ธYour voice will be crucial at this stage โ we need to show support for these changes!
Political campaigning in general & by-elections in particular are a great way of seeing bits of Edinburgh (& elsewhere) that you wouldn't otherwise.
Tonight, the Rosemount Buildings - what a gem!
I assume that someone knows stuff about them - @threadinburgh.scot or @stevenrobb.bsky.social?
Our name may have changed but we continue to work on our various projects to represent and serve residents in the local area, and we hope that this change will encourage a wide range of people from across our area to get involved in our meetings and activities.

Dammit. Someone nicked our cute lil yellow Yoonit. A mini cargo bike.
Share around, and keep an eye out around Edinburgh. Shout at @cargobikemovement.bsky.social if you see it. Let's make this thing too hot to handle.
Bike theft is the worst. Bike theft from a CHARITY is something else ๐ค
