No desire to change things - Edinburgh City Council

Good morning guys. Ultimately this petition has failed. CEC told me they wouldn’t even consider it because they don’t recognise change.org as a legitimate petition platform. I then took my concerns to Ian Murray MP, and his office pushed the council to reconsider. They sent the attached reply. So thats it guys. Edinburgh City Council consider the present arrangements for honouring the war dead to be sufficient. We tried. Thank you to the two and a half thousand of you who signed the petition, your efforts are appreciated.
