First, a big THANK YOU for helping our new petition get to 7,500 signatures in ONE WEEK!
It's received daily media coverage on Radio Forth, Evening News and Edinburgh Live -- BUT WE ARE LOOKING FOR 10,000+ TO SIGN!
Edinburgh Council is not listening to requests for... pre-scheme safety audits, pedestrian crossings, safe parking arrangements, or kerbside access for elderly residents.
And many businesses and individuals with disabilities still feel that they are being unfairly impacted by Spaces for People schemes.
This week, segregated cycle lanes were announced for Slateford Road. Have residents been notified? Absolutely not! You have until 5pm on 24 Feb to send your comments to the council at: spacesforpeople@edinburgh.gov.uk
But back to the petition! Schemes like these will be here to stay unless we make a stand. Poor road safety, access restrictions and impacts on vulnerable groups will become "baked in".
HAS EVERYONE IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD SIGNED THE PETITION?
