Edinburgh council is forcing a low traffic neighbourhood onto the residents of East Craigs against their wishes. The are spending emergency covid response money to fund and covid as an excuse to use a temporary traffic order to carry out their plans. Thy are doing this to avoid local consultation. When challenged they lie about previous research and consultation.
Why the contribution is important
It makes a mockery of covid response. It wastes public money. it has no impact on the covid virus. Worst of all it destroys trust and belief in democracy.

This will not help prevent the spread of Covid.

Using COVID to impose these closures on us is wrong and the CEC knows that... but they have 3000 or so new houses in Cammo and that is the way they had planned ages ago to manage traffic...
Please, please.. in the name of democracy and to ensure everyone safety, consult the people who have put you in your job.

Covid risk will not be reduced by an LTN and the funds should be sent to front line healthcare instead of a vanity project. LTNs that were rushed through earlier in the pandemic are now having to be removed as they were ill conceived and in many cases dangerous, causing damage to the communities they were meant to protect.

A blatant excuse to rush things through. Money could be used for much more important things. No consultation over things and the thoughts of Disabled people totally ignored. Disability Scotland state a clear discrimination breach.
