Just challenging some of the drivel that's posted on here - trying to be objective & factual.

@EssentialEdin What was wrong with the grass that was there?

@thecockburn @EdinburghMinute @EdinburghLive_ @EdinReporter @TheScotsman @heraldscotland @forthone @SpokesLothian @LivingStreetsEd Used to be that @theCockburn had real expertise in Listed Buildings and conservation issues. A journalist with certain agendas doesn't seem to fit the original aims of the Trust?

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@Curiouslycinna2 @thecockburn Probably by an unnamed Council official - seems no formal approval necessary ?

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@theSpurtle Indeed - where's that global warming that everyone's talking about.....

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@Harryjwilliamss @theSpurtle Think this is to ensure that any work scheduled falls within the window. The total period has to include the many days when the work site is barriered off but there's no workmen to be seen.....can't believe a simple kerb realignment / pavement extension would take 100 days.

@LGB_1962 Assume there was space left for a few paying punters ?

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@DrRAGreen @James_f_kenyon @donturvLDR Not an expert on the 'keyword' search on the Planning portal but all properties granted planning permission (I thought) should either have an identifier of 'FULSTL' or 'CLESTL' ?

Does the 'short term let' or 'short-term let' pick up all of these ?

Excellent work / thread BTW

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@mangowhizz @donturvLDR There is - https://t.co/3ey2NnIGPi - but it's a shambles.

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@goldwyreS @SaveSCScotland @donturvLDR @scotgov @Edinburgh_CC Fully agree - it's really a shambles especially given the (supposedly 'cost neutral') fees being charged for licences. The state of the STL Licensing register has to be seen to be believed.

@Del_ivered @kedj479228 Unfortunately not sure there's any ground for claiming a refund though....

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@parkemmapark @Holledge @PhilipDoggart Seems the 'rules' being suspended due to Covid was misinformation.

It was stated by a Council official that the Council's 'no dogs in cemeteries' rule expired in 2014 (10 years after the original decision) per the Civic Government (Scotland) Act 1982.

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@theSpurtle @Del_ivered Not sure this will be the end of the matter.

Having looked again at the various 'Approval of Matters as specified in Conditions' for the original 08/03361/OUT application, despite statements from Council officials, not clear-cut & they will be further legal challenges....

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@EdinReporter @tonymarshphoto @DrScottArthurMP Re. @DrScottArthurMP - did he get an appropriate send-off? Difficult to see with a restricted agenda item concluding today's TEC.

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@edtiss @theSpurtle Maybe your reputation preceded you.....

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@Holledge @Edinburgh_CC As well as the archived webcast (c/w the ability to fast forward which is often welcome) - maybe they should consider an edited highlights version ?

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@Holledge @danc00ks0n @NTBCC @PLACEEdinburgh @theSpurtle @edinburghpaper @EdinInquirer @jomowat @FinlayMcF @PGKeady @bellacaledonia @thecockburn The issue with this approach (penalty charge vs. exclusion) is that it essentially allows those that can afford it to 'pollute' - such that the scheme essentially becomes a Council revenue stream primarily (similar to London) rather than improving air quality within the LEZ.

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@PGKeady @danc00ks0n @Holledge @NTBCC @PLACEEdinburgh @theSpurtle @edinburghpaper @EdinInquirer @jomowat @FinlayMcF @bellacaledonia @thecockburn You're perhaps forgetting that many of the 40% may actually be Edinburgh residents who would have no other option than to change their vehicle if a city-wide LEZ had been adopted (rather than just avoid the current LEZ).

The 40% will naturally decrease though time.

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@TommyAtkins1939 Think there are more important issues to focus on - not this.

[RHL Price @RHLPrice2]

@EllaTasm @theSpurtle Agree the former bowling greens are an under-used community asset & have been fenced off for far too long. (the foxes are OK with it though).

Think the issue is the Council's (un-founded ?) concerns with land contamination hence the proposal to cover with 40 - 50cm of soil.
