@bbc5live @NickyAACampbell Won’t make much difference spread over a year. Would be better spent on NHS or giving more to Councils to keep leisure facilities open. Why will he not increase fuel duty and cut VAT for EVs and EV charging?

@JohnfaeScotland @UtUCabGlasgow I was in Glasgow at the weekend. From the city centre to Emirates Arena was estimated by Google maps at 2.6 miles to walk or 3.9 miles by car/taxi. The number of one way streets is potentially driving higher pollution. The bus would also have meant a 15 min walk to the Arena

@cyc1one1000 @LittleNinjaUK Most increase in cycling feels like it is fast food delivery riders

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

@LStreetsScot @RoadSafetyScot What about bike racks that are installed on pavements perpendicular to the kerb? These also block pavements

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

@urchaidh Do buses run 24/7?

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

@Edinburgh_CC At the same time you are putting in more metal hoops on the pavement making it less safe for pedestrians, those with disabilities, wheelchair users and those pushing prams and buggies.

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

@Sustrans @Brakecharity @THINKgovuk How do we lower the speed of pavement cyclists to make walking safer? Many cyclists travelling almost as fast as urban car speed limits and passing much closer

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

@Douglas4Moray You should have quit over your tax return but still there, do the decent thing and resign

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

Desperately waiting on my f1 tickets for #AbuDhabiGP and worried that they will not come through in time. This was a 21st birthday present for my son who is huge @LandoNorris fan, prefer @MercedesAMGF1 myself but just want to be there for first GP.

@Douglas4Moray You’re a workplace bully and should go. Every week you are aggressive and bullying towards someone you think should go. It’s this type of behaviour that drives up mental health issues. Their is ways to raise issues, you don’t have it. Did you quit over a falsified tax return?

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

@Edinburgh_CC Are these not already part of the rateable value and therefore taxed already?

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

@CllrScottArthur @LindaBamford151 @guidedogsscot Does that include cycle parking on the pavement?

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

@CllrScottArthur More pavement clutter, when will the pedestrian come first

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

@edinhelp the path in Gyle Park between South Gyle station and the back of @DavidLloydUK is very icy tonight

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

@CllrScottArthur What about doing something about pavement cycling, it feels more dangerous to walk now than it used to especially with faster and heavier e-bikes.

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

@Sustrans Bikes on the pavement are more of an issue than cars especially when moving 4x the speed of pedestrians

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

@JohnfaeScotland So real drop between 2022 and 2023 is due to drop in background pollution rather than LEZ?

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

@CllrChasBooth More misinformation and lack of credibility. All the HGVs/SUVs on the motorway travelling much faster but roads in better condition. Do buses/HGVs/Delivery vans cause less damage?

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

@lmacinnessnp @AndrewBowie_MP Hoping to hear what Councils and SG plan to do for putting services within 15 mins of homes where they do not currently exist? For me it is a minimum of 30 mins up to 60 mins for local shopping, schools, medical, etc

[Ian McPherson @IanatGyle]

Never felt comfortable on the pavements in Manchester due to the number of delivery cyclists speeding and weaving. Worse than my last visit. Please sort it out @AndyBurnhamGM
