📢By introducing Article 4 Directions, street scape interventions such as this would be brought into the planning system, allowing communities to voice concerns about what happens in the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Why do we need a different approach to interventions in Edinburgh’s #UNESCO World Heritage Site🌍? In 2025, a ramp was quietly installed in Charlotte Square, the most architecturally significant example of a neoclassical square in the UK. (Part 3/3)

What’s our first priority for City Plan 2040? Our Director explains the importance of having a new World Heritage Site Conservation Area. Providing an additional protection to the current conservation areas within the UNESCO World Heritage Site to enable better management.

City Plan 2040 will shape how Edinburgh develops, including its buildings, public spaces, streets and heritage. The City of Edinburgh Council is asking citizens for five ideas to help shape the plan. What does Edinburgh World Heritage think should be on the list?🧐

KNICKER APPEAL! Many of the women at HMP Styal don't have more than two or three pairs of undercrackers - these little indignities add up and contribute to the high levels of self-harm and distress we see in women's prisons. So, I am collecting NEW pairs of knickers, all shapes, styles and sizes and asking if #women in my network can pick up a packet next time they are in the supermarket to donate. Whether they are Bridget Jones bloomers or you could slice cheese with them, they are important. They can be dropped off at Abney Cafe, Abney Hall Park in #Cheadle, Greater Manchester or posted out to:

HMP Styal, Styal Rd, Wilmslow, SK9 4HR

The humble knicker says to women in prison that they still have some choice, their body is theirs and matters, they are entitled to basic dignity and not required to become less human because they have lost their liberty.

Please help if you can, and share with your networks/ women's groups. It is much appreciated! #StyleForStyal #Prisons #Appeal

@reece_dinsdale National Lottery Heritage Fund?

[Barbara Alexander 💙 @Blhalexander]

@reece_dinsdale just noticed it’s your episode of Robin of Sherwood on ITV4 at the moment. That was a great series. I did work experience on it at HTV in Bristol. Hope you had as much fun as I did!

[Barbara Alexander 💙 @Blhalexander]

@reece_dinsdale I do follow and like but only occasionally interact, purely because other people usually post what I was going to say!

@sarasheridan The bus timetables are probably more accurate than Edinburgh’s this August!
