Highlighting the utter perversity of allowing the daylighting to be robbed from @edcentrallib, which was designed to maximise it, for the sake of a dodgy #EDINBURGH12intitaive development on Cowgate #COMMONgoodLAND to #IndiaBuildingsLtd
Good morning. Here’s the view from our Special Collections Reading Room.
“With land we can!”
Here's a powerful story that can break our passive, resigned relationship to land, from @NarrativesLab and @shared_assets

@Cyberhawk_Phil 'Dramatic aerial pictures show' Virgin Hotels, offshored as #IndiaBuildingsLtd, on Cowgate #COMMONgoodLAND intended for Andrew Carnegie gifted @edcentrallib, robbing its daylighting.

The magnificent west wall of windows of @edcentrallib on a spring day 2019 was designed to maximise daylighting within its public rooms.
How dare @Edinburgh_CC consent a new-build hotel 5m away rising from 6 storeys on the Cowgate to 11 storeys behind #IndiaBuildings?
#saveECL
The warm yellow glow from the west wall of windows @edcentrallib, obscured by a controversial hotel development @virginhotels on #Cowgate #COMMONgoodLAND acquired for the library's setting and future.

@alexgchale @archaeostef These words are from David W Blight's 'Frederick Douglass | Prophet of Freedom'.
#SendBackTheMoney
A new link has been found between Cowgate #COMMONgoodLAND and William Lloyd Garrison, advocate of immediate abolition of slavery.

Frederick Douglass: an abolitionist with surprising links to Scotland. Named himself after a Walter Scott character, 5 months touring Scotland in 1846, challenged the Free Church @freechurchscot on accepting slaveholders money to establish their new church #sendbackthemoney
@CRC_EdUni @aliasmacalias @Leithyface @RoyalScotAcad @cnocanview @TanyaCheadle @kcartermckee @Una_Richards @PAS_DavidW @planningedin @nbissell @JulieDevenney @audreyarchives Do you have any located in and around these favourites of the gap site of #Cowgate #COMMONgoodLAND acquired for the setting and future of @edcentrallib from @StrathArchives?

The striking west wall of windows of Edinburgh's first public library, designed to maximise daylighting, on the way to losing its #RIGHTtoLIGHT🌤 to a non-descript new-build hotel on #COMMONgoodLAND acquired for @edcentrallib's future ... no more.
the gap is closing
Accessibility as well as public safety issues on Edinburgh's Cowgate makes the consented #IndiaBuildings 15/04445/FUL's new-build another conundrum that includes selling off #COMMONgoodLAND intended for @edcentrallib without any public consultation 🙀
#saveECL's #RIGHTtoLIGHT 🌤
Cowgate hardly room for the ruler to sit on the pavement. Recent developments should have been paying for fixing this but CEC would rather attract (the non-existent) tourists.
The deep piling of the #Cowgate #COMMONgoodLAND for Richard Branson's Virgin Hotels' new-build extension of #IndiaBuildings raises serious worries for any adjacent property including @edcentrallib @TalesOfOneCity.
Library cats miaow for structural survey ASAP to #saveECL

Sherlock Holmes as in Arthur Conan Doyle has a link to the #Cowgate #COMMONgoodLAND Edinburgh sold by @Edinburgh_CC for a new hotel development instead of for its first public library's extension.
#saveECL's #RIGHTtoLIGHT https://t.co/xiUx4l03fY
A total joke when balanced with contentious issues like the de facto privatisation of public land, let alone the takeover of #COMMONgoodLAND #QuaichProject's #WestPrincesStreetGardens #Edinburgh
An UTTER SHAME on you @news_RSE
What say @CliffHague @thecockburn @andywightman?

Now would be a good time to seek a review of @Edinburgh_CC's management of #PrincesStreetGardens as #COMMONgoodLAND under Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015
Also, how much money do events in #EPSG+#WPSG generate to common good fund @adamrmcvey @AuditScotland?

@doucementsvp @CllrCMiller @andywightman Except that local authorities, e.g. @Edinburgh_CC don't play by the rules of common good law re common good property, as evidenced by its disposal of #Cowgate #CommonGoodLand as well as other city assets reserved for the daylighting and future extension site @edcentrallib 🙀

"However, it’s not the only case law about common good property and its uses – and recent community empowerment legislation has strengthened the hand of residents, at least as regards the right to be consulted." @andrewcferguso4

Councillors @Edinburgh_CC insist #EDxmas is so important as a tourist attraction that not holding it is untenable, but so is the desecration of #Scotland's capital's city centre #EastPrincesStreetGardens #Edinburgh UNTENABLE 🙀
#COMMONgoodLAND is for everyone's free enjoyment.

@Holledge @Airisaiia @d1anes @Januarymist @Edinburgh_CC @Edxmas @QuaichProject @EdinOldTownCC @NTBCC @edintfest @edhogmanay That *vehicle* of the #Edinburgh12Initiative left the station many years ago.
E.g. @Edinburgh_CC conceded that #Cowgate #COMMONgoodLAND sold to @andyjansons #IndiaBuildings in 2016 that requires by law remedial valuation and allocation to common good fund, but to date NO ACTION!
@Holledge @Airisaiia @d1anes @Januarymist @Edinburgh_CC @Edxmas @QuaichProject @EdinOldTownCC @NTBCC @edintfest @edhogmanay Agree that #WestPrincesStreetGardens can make money via event for the public's benefit/greater good at @edintfest and @edhogmanay, but that the streets, i.e. that are #COMMONgoodLAND in #Edinburgh's city centre is for EVERYONE - residents and visitors alike - it's PUBLIC LAND.
@Beathhigh There's a link between Sherlock Holmes and the #Cowgate #COMMONgoodLAND sold ultra vires for #IndiaBuildings 15/04445/FUL.
#VirginHotels first site in Europe will rob @edcentrallib's daylight and will exacerbate #airPOLLUTION

@drewwylieltd @thecockburn A Friends Group may be well and good, but locals have expressed their views via @EdinOldTownCC. It's a PUBLIC PARK.
Please don't tell me you'd like to see a Friends Group manage PUBLIC LIBRARIES?
By the way, Princes Street Gardens like Leith Links, etc, are #COMMONgoodLAND
