🚧 the ‘war on motorists' claim is ill-informed 🚧 over-dependence on cars as our main mode of transport inflicts massive harm on society 🚧 prioritising car use reinforces inequalities and worsens transport poverty

Figures revealed by @edinburghgreens.bsky.social show that more than two thirds of Edinburgh's walking, wheeling & cycling projects are delayed. We're calling for urgent council action to get them back on track.

The long sorry saga of Edinburgh City Council tying themselves up in knots - All to enable drivers to rat run again through a residential estate. The majority of the residents want to retain the traffic filters that keep their estate safe & quiet www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

Greens have an emergency motion at Transport Ctte on delays to active travel projects. Despite productive round-table last wk w. @spokes.org.uk @edcriticalmass.bsky.social @livingstreetsedi.bsky.social & others, there was little progress. We’re in a #climate emergency. We should act accordingly.

Great to see so many across the council supporting cleaner air, safer streets, and evidence over scaremongering. Liveable Leith have done some great work to secure this win! Thanks also to everybody who wrote to councillors, went on our January ride to Leith, or came out to protest at the Chambers!
