Wonderful piece of writing. Made me wince, made me smile but most of all made me do that wry smile accompanied by the slow head nod .
Liz Truss as a Claire's Accessories manager will never be beaten.

Sophie is so lucky to have such wonderful people helping her on her journey from fear. Yourself and your wife obviously but also Uncle Si and now cheerful and laid back Goncalo.

They will be prisoners, prisoners I tell you!

What is the common factor in these junctions ? Out of town commuter traffic.
Why are the Council so scared of congestion charging for drivers coming in from Midlothian, Fife etc? It's not as if they have votes to lose.

Consultation out for refiguring Barnton junction - that will be fun😮

Juno should get a reward for Doggy Pal of the Year. So big yet, so gentle.

You couldn't find a more in your face illustration of how Trump is taking a wrecking ball to the normal boundaries of behaviour. Man is an utter moron.

Shouty Facebook groups and a feart Council.

Well done. A principled councillor, not afraid to challenge her own party colleagues when required.

Think it would have to be permits as it is a residential area with houses right along that road. Could be done like they have around Featherhall entrance to Corstorphine Primary but again, if no enforcement then useless.

Despite it being called out by school staff, posters and signs on railings etc.
What is the point without enforcement?

It is like a completely different world. 😞

Unsure when the school street restriction signs were installed at Park grove Terrace for Clermiston Primary, but when we are on pick up, drivers completely ignore the flashing lit sign to drive straight past school gates.
There would appear to be no enforcement or physical barrier.
