Move Travellers from Waterfront Avenue in Edinburgh


Move Travellers from Waterfront Avenue in Edinburgh
The Issue
Local residents in Waterfront Avenue, Edinburgh have witnessed how our usually quiet and safe neighborhood has been disrupted by the presence of travellers. This issue has persisted for years, and it's time we take a stand for our community's safety and wellbeing.
The challenges we face on a daily basis are numerous and exhausting. Children on quad bikes dangerously racing along pedestrian paths, fires causing potential hazards, and aggressive dogs creating perilous situations are just the tip of the iceberg. The constant noise and even instances of abuse have cast a shadow over our once peaceful life. Additionally, fly-tipping has become rampant, tarnishing our environment and adding to the distress of residents.
Despite repeated efforts to contact Police, local MPs, and the Scottish Government, the situation remains unchanged. This lack of action is disheartening and leaves us feeling unheard. Our pleas seem to fall on deaf ears, and the problem continues to overshadow our daily lives.
It's crucial that we come together as a community to voice our concerns more powerfully. We ask for the immediate removal of travellers from Waterfront Avenue. This requires urgent intervention from the authorities responsible for maintaining public order and safety.
Sign this petition to demand that local authorities and government officials take decisive action. Together, we can restore peace and security to Waterfront Avenue for all its residents.
