Safer to Sciennes

How hard can it be? I mean, really? Oh, to have space for 600+ children to play, and a safe, worry free last 200m to school. Working w. @NewingtonSafeStreets

I am pretty excited to share what’s happening in Barcelona because it is fucking amazing. (this is not a.i.)

@SciennesPS parents and family it would great if you could take 5 minutes to support @weeunicorns and traffic calming measures around James Gillespie High School and Primary. Spaces for people around inner city schools. Cars stick to main routes not rat runs. Less air pollution.

@safer_to physical activity as part of daily life, habits established in childhood like active travel. The transformative health benefits of exercise that need @Edinburgh_CC to work with groups like @best_edinburgh as a priority. Values based decision making instead of fear.

There is poverty in this country now on a scale I honestly thought would never exist again in the UK. Things got fixed when we had a Labour government for over a decade. They won’t get fixed by a government that won’t even recognise the scale of the problem 2/4

@DrLindaDykes @jessphillips The NHS has NOT "failed". It has been sabotaged by sustained underfunding because Tories are ideologically opposed to state provision of health care.

Today Labour threw away any plausible deniability that they were not in a complete coalition with the Tories.

Watch the new Tory Depute Provost invited up by new Lab Provost to take his chains after they vote each other in.

#bikebus 22/23 starts again for @SciennesPS on 9th September. Starts at Kings Buildings. Save the date, more info to follow.

@LivingStreetsEd @ThamesVP do a great job of policing speeding. They identify people who speed (lots of cameras, zero tolerance) & then instead of points drivers, can opt to learn about why their speeding is so dangerous and uncivilised. I don’t understand why we can’t do the same in Edinburgh.

@SciennesPS this will be brilliant, safe and well organised. We all want kids to be safe and free to move about their neighbourhoods.

[Safer to Sciennes @safer_to]

@edinhelp Thank you. @SciennesPS families will be glad when it’s sorted.

[Safer to Sciennes @safer_to]

@edinhelp @TheGrangeAssoc where this man is walking was jammed with cars dropping off kids 5 mins before, with young pedestrians forced into the road around cars dropping off

[Safer to Sciennes @safer_to]

@edinhelp the pavements on Tantallon have been closed to pedestrians forcing children to walk on the road around parked cars to get to @SciennesPS . Not acceptable. Need protected walkway for tomorrow morning please. @CllrADickie @lmacinnessnp

[Safer to Sciennes @safer_to]

@edinhelp Oh, I think you’ve misunderstood, the barriers completely block the pavement when in their proper place and no alternative space has been provided for the 500+ children that pass this point every day in the space of 20 minutes while cars drop off too
