My son had a computing exam at Edinburgh University today.

It’s our board meeting today and we heard from Cllr Scott Arthur 🌍🌈🌹 from The City of Edinburgh Council on the approach to enforcing the #PavementParkingBan .

Also discussions with Transport Scotland on the #FairFaresReview report published in Mar 2024.

Many thanks to Kelly Thirgood for inviting me to Roseburn PS today to talk about sustainable transport (and a wee bit of civil engineering).

Great questions from P6/7 on how we can make Edinburgh a better place to live, visit, study and work.

The memorial dedicated to baby Craig Millar has been re-installed next to the football pitches at Harewood Road.

The new location means the memorial is easily accessible for those who wish to pay their respects❤️

HY did not stand down to hand the job to Kate Forbes. Neil Grey or John Swinney must be favourites, but I expect the latter will be more acceptable to the Greens.

John Swinney was just asked at a Resolution foundation event if he would like to be First Minister (Humza Yousaf is quitting):

'It's a hypothetical question.'

'It's a very demanding role.'

'It takes a lot of thinking about'.

IT LOOKS TO BE ON.

'There has been a noticeably more pro-bus attitude at the City of Edinburgh Council' 🤗
