Apparently those parked cars are not an eyesore in a historic environment. The city council rightly decided against the will of these residents and in favour of improving cycling conditions on this main cycle route"</p> <p>Maybe we could send some more Edinburgh councillors on fact-finding missions? Finding out facts is a sign of a council's commitment. Acting on those facts, well.... </p>
