Tomorrow, Edinburgh council will decide whether to tear up a quiet route for pedestrians, wheelchairs and cyclists which has been in place for five years- why? Read below www.edinburghinquirer.co.uk/p/low-traffi... @edi.bike @spokes.org.uk

Low traffic streets: Five years, two censured councillors, and endless uncertainty

Scotland has put its trust in the SNP, and that trust will never be taken for granted. However you voted, we will work every day to improve lives, stand up for Scotland, and build the fairer, stronger future our country deserves.

🏡 Affording a home is a real issue for Scotland’s young people. Here’s the SNPs plan to fix it. 👇

A re-elected SNP Government will extend childcare from 9 months old to the end of primary school, 52 weeks a year. Make it #BothVotesSNP on May 7 for a government that’s on your side.

The SNP wants to lower your bills, roll out GP walk-in clinics and give you a choice over your future. Other parties want to stop us. The best way to get things done for Scotland is by electing a majority SNP government. On 7th May, make it both votes SNP.

Unlike the other parties, the SNP is always on Scotland’s side. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

This election is a clear choice for Scotland: experienced, reliable leadership with me and the SNP government focused on cutting the cost of living, or more chaos and distractions from Labour. #BothVotesSNP

Make it Both Votes SNP on the 7th of May to cap the price of essential food items.

If you want to know what a Scottish Labour government would look like, just look at Labour at Westminster. In serious times, we’ll focus on what matters: the cost of living, our NHS, our economy, and Scotland’s future with independence. On May 7, make it Both Votes SNP.

Renting should not mean losing your home with no say in what happens next. If re-elected the SNP will give private renters the first chance to buy the home they live in at a fair market price if the landlord decides to sell. Make it both votes SNP on May 7th for a government that’s on your side.

We’ll provide Childcare support for every child, from 9 months to the end of Primary school. Make it Both Votes SNP on May 7th, for a Scottish government that’s on your side.

Vote for me, and @snp.org on the 7th May - we need our independence because life can be so much better. #ActiveSNP #SP26

Childcare shouldn't be a burden on any family - that's why we're making sure care is available for every child in Scotland, every day of the year, from 9 months old to the end of primary school. Thank you to The Yard for letting us join the play session this morning!

🍫 Then off to Create Business Properties with Kate Campbell. They offer affordable workspaces for businesses - helping enterprise to start and to thrive. 📈

✅ A new poll released today shows Scottish businesses trust the SNP government more than the Labour government. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Good timing - First Minister @johnswinney.bsky.social was out meeting with businesses all across Edinburgh today. 🧵👇

✊ Transport committee votes for Greenbank to Meadows quiet route permanence (‘Option C’) 🥳 Still to be ratified at TRO Sub-committee in June (dare they try it on?) but a significant win for one of the few measures supporting active travel in South Edinburgh. 🚲💕

Fantastic turnout and incredible energy today. Scotland will be independent. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

A historic SNP majority can unlock transformational change with independence - and make Nigel Farage irrelevant in Scotland’s Parliament. Without it, there is always the risk of a grubby Labour-Reform deal. #BothVotesSNP on May 7th is the only way to ensure Scotland’s future in Scotland’s hands.

When I started campaigning for independence as a teenager, it seemed like a distant dream. Now it is there to be won - and it's up to all of us to finish the job. Join me at the march and rally for independence this Saturday, from 11.30AM at Parliament Square in Edinburgh.

Magdalene this morning - big support for @kate-c.bsky.social & @snp.org. Plenty folk who backed Starmer's Labour in 2024 sickened by the disaster at Westminster, & saying they will #VoteSNP #ActiveSNP

Extra support for families with young children. Make it #BothVotesSNP on Thursday 7th May 2026 for a Scottish Government that is on your side.

On 7 th May, make it Both votes SNP Let’s build Scotland’s future together.

Fantastic to be out in windy Musselburgh after an inspiring conference. With lots of positive reasons for people to vote SNP it was good to chat to folk about our pledge to extend childcare from 9 months, and support first time buyers with deposits up to £10k. #ActiveSNP

It's clear it must come back - the integrity of the process has been shown to be completely compromised. Key Q now is will Labour reverse its dreadful position of voting with Tories & Lib Dems to rip out measures protecting kids travelling safely to & from school? If they don't this means nowt.

Cllr Stephen Jenkinson@stephenjenkinson.bsky.social · 5mo ago

In light of this decision my Transport & Environment Committee will now have to revisit the vote taken on the Braids Estate LTN. www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/two-edi...

If you live in Edinburgh Eastern, Musselburgh and Tranent I'd like to know what matters to you. Click here to let me know. snp.org/vote/

We are cutting long waits in our NHS, opening GP walk-in centres, and we will certainly not be taking any lectures from Tony Blair.

So much for Labour’s promises to respect the Scottish Parliament. Only the SNP will always stand up for Scotland and protect our Parliament. www.snp.org/join

This demonstrates that the vote to rip out the modal filters and other active travel measures in the Braid estate was not only unjustifiable, but also arrived at by a tainted process which must now surely be revisited.

⚠️ Today, Standards Commission hearing (Councillors Neil Ross & Marie-Clair Munro) found both had breached the Councillor code of conduct for failing to declare they lived by the Braid Estate when dealing w/ Greenbank to Meadows Quiet Route, including their votes to remove effective traffic filtering
