Happy #NationalWalkingMonth! Our survey reveals that over half of Brits walk for their mental health and happiness. livingstreets.org.uk/press-media/ov… Find out how the #MagicOfWalking can help you put a spring in your step this May: livingstreets.org.uk/nwm
A 58-year-old man has died in hospital following a collision involving a van in Edinburgh on Wednesday, 10 April, 2024. Read more - orlo.uk/gEtm5
Has this been sorted yet? Shocking example of something all too commonplace...
Some interesting material (with some lovely pictures!) from @pedestrianspace about walking in a '15/20 minute city' here: pedestrianspace.org/category/15-20…
On the 10th May Living Rent Leith are holding a Town Hall meeting for the local community to engage with decision makers regarding the Dalton Scrapyard development. Too many luxury developments are being approved in Leith and locals are being priced out!

This is a good news story: an @Edinburgh_CC manager told us last week that the pavement parking ban was "the best thing that's ever happened to footway maintenance" for the city🙂

Key quote (from @CllrScottArthur)? “In most places, we can only do two things well, and in the vast majority of these streets one of them will be walking. Then it becomes a question of what the second one is”

Several important (if not necessarily exciting!) reports to TEC this week, including: footway maintenance local improvements funding tram update. Disappointing to see nothing about speed/red light cameras in the Road Safety report. democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk/ieListDocument…

Volunteers from @mandgplc came along to help tidy up this path in #PilrigPark. We scraped back all the mud to widen the path & redefine the lovely original path edges. It is a physical job but very satisfying to see the results! @Friendsofpilrig @Edinburgh_CC @EdinOutdoors
@edinhelp can I check why this new sign pole has been added narrowing the busy pavement outside Haymarket station please? Perfectly good existing pole beside it! 🤔 I thought there was a decluttering meant to be happening. A waste of public money? @LivingStreetsEd

@LivingStreetsEd @AngusRobertson @GDCC_ @gorgiearts @DalryCemetery @patrickharvie That was always the Caley side at Haymkt., and had its own independent entrance. Why was Dalry Rd disadvantaged by the 21c rebuild?
@LivingStreetsEd I agree that failure to extend this pavement is unacceptable, and expect that point to come through strongly in consultation Many big wins for pedestrians in this project though - continuous footways, pavement improvements and increased crossing points all along the route
@CllrScottArthur And those ridiculous railings have gone, excellent!
War on bus passengers. One person thinks s/he's more important than the 2 million passengers carried on buses in Edinburgh each week - this is taking being selfish to a new level. edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh…
That Redford Road might go to 20mph is great - symbolic of so many #Edinburgh streets with housing, bus stops and kids crossing to schools. 👍👍 Hopefully most others in Edinburgh can also be moved to 20mph - resulting in fewer road injuries and deaths. x.com/sw20ed/status/…

@LivingStreetsEd @transcotland It's a standard design pretty much everywhere else in Europe, also wondering why all TS won't support such a cheaper and simpler design!
I am working with @TransformScot on this, we plan to send the Scottish Government a fairly stern letter.
Some new zebra crossings recently been installed as part of the #CCWEL cycle scheme. But it sounds like they will be traditional zebra crossings (i.e. with belisha beacons). It is crazy that @transcotland won't support trials of the cheaper, simpler design, as in the picture...
Ewan of @blackfordsafer1 chairing the Q&A at #SpokesMtg - first up "why are so many pedestrian crossings on such a long delay after you push the button"
A small win for pavement clutter with rusty ignored pole removed. 👍
Hi @edinhelp there is a useless pole with a pretty rusted bottom on the pavement outside Slateford Bowling Club. Could it be logged for removal or have something useful attached to it please?
