Hard agree. In addition to the above have tabled a cowgate question to full council. Let’s see the answer!

Watching this work stream like a hawk! 🫡

Thanks also to local police teams for their attendance and for the hard work that residents put in themselves on the day. I’ve a long list of follow-up jobs to crack on with but it’s a true pleasure to support and help organise these initiatives as a local councillor for the auld toon 👌 🧼

Credit to @cllrbenparker.bsky.social for initially raising this on behalf of the horrified Friends of Braid Hills who expressed their utter dismay at Leonardo being given permission to use the park for testing.

Morally abhorrent!

This is only part of the powerful testimony we heard from the Chair of the Friends of Braid Hills at committee.

This is who they chose to block? Why is it so difficult to ban arms companies using our parks?

This also extends to supporting the families of children with additional support needs and disabilities themselves - whether it’s holiday hubs or expansion of changing place facilities to open up the city to them.

Oaklands pupils and staff are a real credit to our city.
