It is from August 2022, two years ago. The exact same stance as this petition – exceptions for assistance dogs and dogs with mourners.

Paul delivered his deputation immediately after Mr & Mrs Pedan, and he references it a number of times. You can view that deputation here: https://t.ly/J81-G

The compromise Paul reluctantly agreed to of “dogs on leads” has failed.

Edinburgh Council’s experiment has failed.

That has caused two further years of upset and distress for Paul and his family, the Pedan’s, the supporters who have written powerful deputations for us to deliver to the Culture & Communities Committee on the 8th of August…and every other person who has been upset by the unnecessary presence of dogs in Edinburgh cemeteries.  

We have 25 days left to stop this.

Thank you

Paul & Andy
