A van parked on the pavement outside Virgin Hotel on Cowgate, Edinburgh. The pavement slabs are broken and cracked, creating a trip hazard.
Business waste bins blocking the pavement on Cowgate, Edinburgh.
More business waste bins blocking the pavement on Cowgate, Edinburgh.
Scaffolding and construction compound fully occupying the pavement and part of the road. Pedestrians wishing to pass must walk in the road into on-coming traffic.
Cowgate is truely #Edinburgh 's worst pedestrian experience. The City-Centre Transformation can't come soon enough, but enforcement of existing rules on pavement parking, scaffolding licences, and biz waste would be a start. @cllrcmiller.bsky.social @finlaymcf.bsky.social @leftwing66.bsky.social

When my bike was stolen in London, I left it outside a train station in direct view of CCTV for 90 minutes, and was told by Met Police that this timeframe was too long to be worth investigating. π€·

Screengrab of a news article headlined 'Migrants arriving on small boats where a child has died should face prosecution, says Cooper'
Just sickeningly inhumane. People are forced to take dangerous small boat journeys to flee danger because for the vast majority there is no other way to claim asylum in the UK. The ONLY way to prevent horrific channel deaths is to open safe routes and Yvette Cooper knows this

Was asked whether the public have lost faith in net zero for radio this morning. I think it's the wrong question. The public still overwhelmingly support climate action. The question is do they trust government to deliver and make good on promises of fairness and prosperity.
