The Living Well Locally project in Dalry looks really promising. It brings some much-needed investment to the area and will help people walk, wheel and cycle. Like any other big project, it will need residents to give their views, so that it serves their needs. Please comment…

Fantastic to listen to Cllr Jule Bandel explain their experiences as a young Councillor and what Green Cllrs have achieved in the last two years

Good coverage from Edinburgh Evening News

This risks undermining the Scottish Parliament's hard won reputation for inclusivity.

It sends the wrong message to Parliament staff and visitors, and particularly to members of the LGBTQIA+ community and other marginalised groups.

The decision must be reconsidered. 🏳️‍🌈

An awful and likely untenable decision that is a slap in the face for the LGBT+ community. Excellent response from Maggie Chapman MSP for Scottish Greens. I will be seeking confirmation that Council staff can wear Rainbow and other lanyards and badges supporting good causes…

Good coverage of Green efforts to get the Council to bring in a Firework Control Zone from Edinburgh Evening News

After starting in darkness, I spent 6 hours on the Water of Leith today, due to the amount of wildlife that was about. It felt like spring was here already!

My ward colleague Ross McKenzie at Full Council raised the failure to progress a Safe Drug Consumption Facility in Edinburgh. I seconded his motion, highlighting that such a facility is vital to a public health approach to drugs

At Full Council, I challenged the Council Leader on investments made by the Council that officers can't guarantee are not finding their way into fossil fuel projects. In a climate emergency, this is not acceptable

Thank you to the very talented Daniel Milligan for taking some new photos of me for my work for the Greens.
