We are all being failed by governments who prioritise the interests of the wealthiest people above the basic needs of the vast majority of the population

Those who seek to divide the working class on the basis of ethnicity are doing the dirty work of the rich and powerful

The ward that I represent is overwhelmingly working class and is also ethnically diverse.

The vast majority of people in the area have a shared interest in the need for the state to tax wealth to provide housing and improve services, regardless of their ethnicity

When @sutrscotland.bsky.social supporters attempted to remove flags earlier this week, they were approached by someone who threatened to slit their throats and stab them for interfering with what he described as “my flags”

This occurred next to graffiti which said "Deport Muslims"

No backsliding! Just a sharp active travel officer getting the non-TRO pavement elements delivered as part of programmed road-resurfacing.
The good news here is that the resurfacing of the Caledonians and Orwells will include significant improvements to pavements. Too often, the council resurfaces roads without doing anything for pedestrians and wheelchair users.

Edinburgh business could be forced to move as streets set to close for five months
The shop has run in Dalry since 1956, but businessowner Alan Wallace says that he's thought of leaving Dalry over the project the roadworks are a part of

I'm disappointed that the journalist who wrote this story has not been clear on the above and I'm annoyed that he took a quote form me without letting me know that he'd be fronting the story with concerns from Wallace's. I'll be in touch with Mr Wallace to reassure him about access and parking.

There will be disruption during the works, but there will be no changes to access or parking as a result of them.

The wider 'Dalry Living Well Locally' project may well include changes to access and parking, but details are some way from being finalised and work is ~2 years away.
