Preston Street Vision - Space & Place

A community led campaign to improve the space and place around Preston Street Primary School. Account run by the Transport & Env Committee of @parentpsps

[Preston Street Vision - Space & Place @PrestonStVision]

Today marks the start of #PrestonStreetPrimarySchool's next campaign phase to improve our playground facilities & to further engage with other stakeholders regarding improvements to #ActiveTravel & #SpacesForPeople around school & connecting to the wider city.#Edinburgh #LEZ 1/5

My (very old and heavy and quite rusty) bike has been stolen. If anyone sees this bike abandoned in Newington / Prestonfield area or beyond, please let me know! (Best photo I have of it...)

What the intersections of #Edinburgh's #Southside desperatley need need! Hope Park Ter/Cres/Summerhall/Melville Dr - E/W Preston St/South Clerk St/Newigton Road. @CllrScottArthur

[Dutch Cycling Embassy @Cycling_Embassy]

"Toronto takes on the Dutch-style intersection.

...“Dutch-style” intersections are designed to offer physical separation for bike riders and improve safety through features like priority traffic signalling and clear and colourful lane markings."

@DrCarolineBrown @HaslerKat @CllrScottArthur @HistEnvScot @SteveAMBurgess It’s clearly a school in need of traffic reduction measures, wider pavements etc, but it shouldn’t be dependent on ‘developer contribution’

SHOULD be high on CEC’s list of schools needing ACTION

Great to see actual improvments being delivered at another #Edinburgh school 👏👏👏

How can increased #AirPollution at #Edinburgh's #LEZ boundary be mitigated? By removing parking provision for non-complient vehilcles at the LEZ's periphery, by reducing traffic volume & removing unecessary lanes, by increasing the provision of localised #ActiveTravel schemes! 👀

[The City of Edinburgh Council @Edinburgh_CC]

Research has shown that poor air quality can affect our mental health. By reducing the most polluting vehicles, our #LowEmissionZone aims to limit air pollution, benefitting everyone’s health and wellbeing. Find out more about why we’re introducing an #LEZ https://t.co/68Vu8jPyCf

[Preston Street Vision - Space & Place @PrestonStVision]

Several common sense steps need to be put in effect by @Edinburgh_CC that align with the imminent #LEZ implementation. Here's a few wee ideas that could be put into place across the city of #Edinburgh to reduce traffic volume; https://t.co/eIawGQ2mkk

[Living Streets Edinburgh @LivingStreetsEd]

Edinburgh has no chance of achieving its target of a 30% drop in car mileage by 2030 (from the 2019 baseline) unless it uses every possible lever at its disposal.

@CllrScottArthur #Edinburgh's #LEZ will only be truly effective for the benefit of the entire city if implemented along with necessary changes in localised infrastucture for communities within and around the periphery of the LEZ. #AirPollution #ActiveTravel

@CllrScottArthur @kevin_lang @Edinburgh_CC @CllrScottArthur @cllrcammyday @EdinburghLabour @EdinburghTories @EdinburghLibDem @Edinburgh_CC Looking for any avialable info on current plans to tackle the forcasted increase in #AirPollution around #Edinburgh's #LEZ?

[Preston Street Vision - Space & Place @PrestonStVision]

447 days for @Edinburgh_CC & the T&E committee to act on the concerns of #PrestonStreetPrimary's parents in regards to impact of #Edinburgh's #LEZ & road infrastructure on our school & the #SouthSide🤔@CllrScotArthur @EdinburghLabour @EdinburghTories @EdinburghLibDem.

[Dr Scott Arthur MP (Edinburgh South West) 🌍🌈🌹 @DrScottArthurMP]

Getting stuff done. 👍

[Preston Street Vision - Space & Place @PrestonStVision]

@CllrScottArthur We appreciate clllr @kevin_lang's ammendment highlighting an issue that should be at the forefront of @Edinburgh_CC's #LEZ, #PublicTransportation & #ActiveTravel plans. What plans are in place to tackle the forcasted increase in air pollution around #Edinburgh's #LEZ?

[PSPS Parent Council @ParentPsps]

And it's a wrap! Wishing all staff, families and pupils a wonderfully chilled summer! @prestonstps

[The Causey @The_Causey]

You'll catch us at The Causey Sat 17th June, 11-1pm, campaigning for cleaner air for our brains and bodies. And adding flowers to our traffic island. #CLEANAIRDAY

[Dr Scott Arthur MP (Edinburgh South West) 🌍🌈🌹 @DrScottArthurMP]

We are working with school communities, and now have a further 39 "school streets" proposals in the pipeline. 👍

[Preston Street Vision - Space & Place @PrestonStVision]

@blackfordsafer1 Totally unacceptable😠 As boundary neighbours we raised this issue with Clr Tim Pogson today requesting that he raises our concerns as part of a wider city outcry against the dilution of existing schemes to appease a minority of local residents #ActiveTravel #SpacesForPeople ✊

[Preston Street Vision - Space & Place @PrestonStVision]

@cafi_epcc @RCPEdin @CllrScottArthur @RCPEdin continued 'We consider that robust data is required as a priority so that mitigation measures around schools where air pollution is above guideline levels can be introduced without delay'.
As parents we 100% agree #Scotland #CleanAirDay #LEZ #Edinburgh #AirPollution

[Preston Street Vision - Space & Place @PrestonStVision]

Well done to all involved in #CleanAirDay actions in & around Preston Street Primary this morning 👏👏👏Air pollution notices were handed out before school on behalf of the Parent Council Transport & Environment Committee before school by volunteer campaigers😉#Edinburgh #LEZ

[Preston Street Vision - Space & Place @PrestonStVision]

Looking forward to our school's activities tomorrow & the visit from Clr Tim Pogson, who will be on hand to discuss #Airpollution, #Activetravel & other issues related to #CleanAirDay with parents & pupils.
We have a few ideas on how best to tackle these issues😉#Edinburgh #LEZ

[Preston Street Vision - Space & Place @PrestonStVision]

@cafi_epcc @RCPEdin @CllrScottArthur 'The College' also noted 'Our current understanding of air quality levels at all the country’s primary schools is relatively limited with 24 hour average level data not being published and many schools simply too far away from networked air quality monitors'. #CleanAirDay #LEZ
