Fighting to erradicate unlicensed, unsafe black market short-term lets in Edinburgh.
Lorna @lornaslater.bsky.social what are you doing about the out of control black market of unlicensed short-term lets? News is your focus is closing safe, licenced ones! @scottishgreens.org @edinburghgreens.bsky.social @snp.org @spurtle.bsky.social @heraldscotland.bsky.social @edfringe.bsky.social
@chasbooth.bsky.social one of many unlicensed,unsafe,non-tax paying, non-vistor levy paying short-term lets on your patch-what are you doing about these? Thought there was a control zone? No control it seems over unlicensed STLs @scottishgreens.org @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social @edinburghlive.co.uk
@lornaslater.bsky.social is so misinformed it's shocking - listening to Edinburgh Greens & their ideology on stls rather than looking at evidence! SGs will never be taken seriously based on this ridiculous rhetoric!Mentioning Pat tests reveals her ignorance - shameful! www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

@chasbooth.bsky.social thoughts? Environmentally friendly? Hypocritical? Couldn't he ride a bike to work if his mum set his alarm a little earlier? She owes him for paying her tv licence after all! Can you have a word - airbnb be cheaper surely?
Reality.. I decimated local businesses, enabled big business hotels and delivered zero affordable housing.
Chas, where exactly is this “affordable housing” you keep referring to? In your role on the planning committee, you’ve approved numerous hotels and student lets, yet almost no genuinely affordable homes. This is more than just being economical with the truth.
@chasbooth.bsky.social I see you're still fixated on your vendetta on local licensed STLs in Edinburgh from your Qs this week at full council.Just wondered if you ever ask Qs about the environment anymore or about the Children's Sick Hospital being turned into 46 STLs which could be residential?
What is going on with all the new hotels/apartments being built in Edinburgh? It seems like a new one every week. #edinburgh
Just seen this on X @chasbooth.bsky.social? What is going on? Is this true? Really disappointed if so.
@edinburghcouncil.bsky.social introduced a licensing scheme to protect guest safety & stop Airbnbs ruining residents' amenity, but they've shut licensed properties & doing little about unlicensed STLs operating in plain sight - @scottishgreens.org @edinburghgreens.bsky.social please address this!
