"Our city, our council"

[Edinburgh Free Streets @edinfreestreets]

Locals trying to raise awareness of local, national, and international corruption around Net-Zero and the sustainable development goals accused of engaging in "dangerous" "wild conspiracy theories" and "misinformation".

Will the accusers debate us?

Exeter.
@Mark_J_Harper councils across the UK are abusing their powers. A real vote loser.

@CllrScottArthur It's taken longer for you and @Edinburgh_CC to answer these two simple questions...

[El Del @Del_ivered]

Established business owner hits out at disastrous @Edinburgh_CC road changes making Leith a ghost town.⬇️

We must stop them doing same to Edinburgh's main commercial New Town street; George Street. @edinfreestreets @NoLTNEdinburgh @alanvibe @Leighlines @edinburghpaper

@Del_ivered @2351onthelist @jofinestiffin @Edinburgh_CC @edinfreestreets @NoLTNEdinburgh @alanvibe @Leighlines @edinburghpaper Been going to the same barber on Leith Walk for 20 years. He now has to pay a fortune to park near his own shop which has struggled for custom for years due to tram works and now parking restrictions. He's thinking about shutting down.

The principle of free speech is for precisely these moments. The answer is more speech. Not less.

Only talking helps here.

I say let him back on.

What does everyone else think?

[Edinburgh Free Streets @edinfreestreets]

Following the meet up of locals in Corstophine and last Tuesdays public forum meet up where hundreds between them showed up to object to LTNs, where do we go from here?

What do people want to see?

A push for debate? Protest? Events of another kind? Civil disobedience?

Bath: Cllr Warren won’t have a debate. @CllrKevinGuy

Edinburgh: @CllrScottArthur watched at home.

Bristol: no councillor showed

Why aren’t councillors listening to residents?

Last night was a tremendous success. Was great to see so many people rock up and share their views; and to get to chat to so many interesting people.

It was good to see push back as well. It is important for all of us to remember that we might be wrong.

See you at the next one!

Really enjoyable evening at the @Togetherdec debate in Edinburgh last night. Completely sold out. We need more old fashioned town hall debates. So many people expressed their concerns about government control. Face to face debating is much more engaging than social media!

[Alan D Miller @alanvibe]

As I head to the great city of Edinburgh (through fantastic cities of York, Darlington & Durham)

It is very worrying that Edinburgh which has contributed so much to the world intellectually & in terms of innovation is being closed down via roadblock LTNS & LEZs

China currently has more carbon emissions than the entire developed world combined. But hey, let’s take the land away from farmers, cull cows, add net zero taxes, enforce 15 minute cities and ban gas stoves. 🤡🌍
