I am standing to be your SNP Candidate in Edinburgh Northern where I live and run a business.

The failure of Scottish Labour in London has shown that only independence can bring the change our communities need.

Only the SNP will deliver that change.

Thanks for the tag on this. The 38 is a vital bus for the Western General Hospital, I'll be doing what's in my power to make sure it's retained for my community. Aware that there are similar string feelings about the #400/18.

SNP addendum requesting a report on whether City of Edinburgh Council can require purpose-built student accommodation developments and short-term lets to pay for commercial waste collections, rather than being able to use domestic council services free of charge.

SNP addendum requesting a report on whether City of Edinburgh Council can require purpose-built student accommodation developments and short-term lets to pay for commercial waste collections, rather than being able to use domestic council services free of charge.

Delighted to get cross-party support for my proposal to investigate how Edinburgh Council can require highly profitable businesses like student accommodation blocks & Airbnbs to pay for commercial waste, rather than being allowed to use domestic services paid for by our Council Tax.

Sure are. Another thing about the WHW is there’s a pub/inn every 7 miles. The distance the cattle were driven each day.
About 250K folks from all over the world do the 96 WHW miles every year. Great for local businesses and a great advert for Scotland.
