We should invite him along to a CCE beer night. :-) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15318#post-197253 Thu, 27 Aug 2015 20:34:06 +0000 chdot 197253@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>Executive Director - Place </p> <p>Edinburgh is an outstanding capital city, recognised across the globe as a leader in business, the arts, science and education.
