In @Edinburgh_CC we've fewer than 2k full-time licenced self-catering units, yet they're being hounded & closed by a council machine which allows an unsafe black market to blossom unpoliced as desperate performers & familes seek a place to stay. #SaveSC @EdFringeSociety @ASSCnews

@SaveSCScotland @scotgov @Edinburgh_CC @ASSCnews Can we also get as many people to sign the #VatsTheProblem petition being fronted by @ChefTomKerridge to cut VAT to 10%

@SaveSCScotland @Edinburgh_CC @EdFringeSociety @ASSCnews London has twice the population of Scotland, it's visitors numbers out number us by 20 fold. If these amateurs are allowed to continue there will be NO tourism is Scotland at all and a loss of revenue running into hundreds of millions and huge job losses.

@rock_shamrock @theSpurtle @Edinburgh_CC @EdinburghGreens @heraldscotland @SaveSCScotland @WingsScotland @jomowat Unlikely bed-fellows.. Chas Booth and Jo Mowat. However both can take a bow in encouraging big business to thrive while at the same time destroying wee local businesses and community cohesion.

@rock_shamrock @theSpurtle @Edinburgh_CC @EdinburghGreens @heraldscotland @SaveSCScotland @WingsScotland Those on the ground can see that the council's draconian approach to STLs has been hugely successful in encouraging a growing black market of unregulated,potentially unsafe, properties that will now dodge the 5% visitor levy.

The cause of unaffordable festival digs is the cack-handed efforts of @scotgov & @Edinburgh_CC that has reduced supply to performers & visitors alike. Council's scapegoating <2k self-catering units & axing them at every opportunity. /1 https://t.co/A41ugI0OGZ #SaveSC @ASSCnews

@timminchin The causes of unaffordable performer accommodation in Edinburgh sit at the door of flawed @scotgov legislation & a short-sighted @Edinburgh_CC that does not appear to care its action s have made the city less safe & less affordable than ever. #SaveSC @ASSCnews

@SaveSCScotland @scotgov @Edinburgh_CC @ASSCnews @timminchin You have to ask what are our elected officials doing about the unlicensed https://t.co/ttTKxtHbKM doesn't take brain of Britain to discover who they https://t.co/q7lwnXeZ4R usual the very easy are targeted and they are trying to comply.

[SaveSelfCatering @SaveSCScotland]

@scotgov @Edinburgh_CC @ASSCnews @timminchin Perhaps worst of all is the explosion in unlicensed & unsafe black market accommodation that is a disaster waiting to happen. Licensing was supposed to protect visitors but it has so far done the opposite. #SaveSC @ASSCnews /4

[SaveSelfCatering @SaveSCScotland]

@scotgov @Edinburgh_CC @ASSCnews Hotels during festival are just not suitable for performers or families. There is a genuine need & requirement for diverse accommodation & the short-sighted actions of @edinburgh_CC has made a tough situation far worse for our festivals. /3 #SaveSC @timminchin

[SaveSelfCatering @SaveSCScotland]

@scotgov @Edinburgh_CC @ASSCnews Full-time self-catering makes up less than 1% of all city residences, a tiny fraction compared to student accommodation. Meanwhile brownfield goes to new student flats & yet more hotels. /2
