See the entire length of Marine Esplanade, covered in fly tipping. #litter @forthports

[Liveable Leith @LiveableLeith]

@forthports Can you please clean up your land at Marine Esplanade in Leith?

[Liveable Leith @LiveableLeith]

@JohnSwinney @davidfkey Stop granting planning permission to AI data centres in Scotland that will only pay £24/mw - leaving us to foot the bill, just to profit a handful of people. You are in control of that at least.

This is Marine Esplanade, this week. With news of uncontrolled fly tipping in the news, can @Edinburgh_CC get on top of this now, before it all ends in the sea? (200 yards from NWH waste management group, by the way.) #flytipping

[Liveable Leith @LiveableLeith]

#litter @edinhelp If our council can't clean this up, we'll do this ourselves in January. TBC

[Liveable Leith @LiveableLeith]

The public realm.

[Liveable Leith @LiveableLeith]

The public realm. Do residents here not deserve better?

[Liveable Leith @LiveableLeith]

Continual rubbish alongside Laurie Street. @edinhelp

Why has this site (on Constitution Street by the tram) been a dump for 2 years now? @edinhelp

[Transform Scotland @TransformScot]

- 82% are concerned about the impact of SUVs on traffic and safety
- 73% said SUVs are bought as status symbols
- Only 4% think SUVs are necessary for city living

Venues are not recycling. The only venue that provided reusable plastic cups was @traversetheatre - and I saw several folk put theirs in the bin!

[Liveable Leith @LiveableLeith]

I love the fringe. But we need a serious conversation the monumental amount of waste - and what about the plastic cable ties for every single poster? @edfringe

[John Mitchell 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 @john_auldtoon]

⁦@edfringe⁩ despite Fringe promises that they’d replace these bins with ones with a hatch as in previous years they haven’t done it. Virtually zero recycling as many of the visitors don’t have English as first language no international recycling ♻️ symbols.

Compare what Paris has done to its city Hall Square to plans for George Street, Edinburgh. Four trees. Why do our council leaders and officers suffer from such a lack of imagination?

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Paris has removed the paving from its city hall square and transformed it into an urban forest.

[Liveable Leith @LiveableLeith]

@AngusRobertson This is a phone box from yesterday on St Giles Street, 50 yards from where you were standing. I love the fringe and tourism it brings. I don't love the city becoming a trash can. Can we reduce waste and improve recycling with the visitor levy?

[Transform Scotland @TransformScot]

Simple zebra crossings are an easy and low-cost means of giving pedestrians priority.

@Sustrans latest report backs their wider use 👇

We now need UK Gov to give councils the power to make them commonplace.

[Liveable Leith @LiveableLeith]

Note for Edinburgh Council. More LTNs and quiet streets mean we don't always need to build (very expensive) cycle lanes on every road...

[Will Norman @willnorman]

Everyone should watch this!

It's a delightful & joyous celebration of how we're transforming London into a cycling city.

Brilliant to see ... but there's much more hard work to do.
