So they're not starting fresh with 0 followers.</p> <p>Optimistic is a new one for me ;) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17802#post-252315 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 11:17:41 +0000 Frenchy 252315@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I only know about this because a councillor told me about it when I went to their surgery (to discuss active travel improvements). I don't know the difference from the current system, though... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17802#post-252313 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 11:04:57 +0000 SRD 252313@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@chdot I agree. I would have thought that I follow council policies closer than 99% of the population (sad, I know) and I had no idea. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17802#post-252312 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 11:01:04 +0000 chdot 252312@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@ wangi I think you're being optimistic with the first 15%! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17802#post-252309 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 10:53:50 +0000 ih 252309@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well, I'm in the &gt;85% on both. Can anyone provide a thumbnail sketch? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17802#post-252305 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 10:45:52 +0000 wangi 252305@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well, there's been no explicit decision to wind up the NPs... But it'll happen by default when the Council eventually form an administration and create Locality committees instead.</p> <p>Probably &lt; 15% on both questions. Which is probably the same for NPs too. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17802#post-252303 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 10:41:01 +0000 chdot 252303@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"they were already on the way out due to the move toward the four Localities instead"</p> <p>Is that not the real reason?</p> <p>As for "Localities" I wonder -</p> <p>A) what % of percentage of people in Edinburgh have heard of this change?</p> <p>B) what % of percentage of those people understand what it might mean (good and bad)? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17802#post-252301 Thu, 08 Jun 2017 10:33:39 +0000 wangi 252301@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The closing of these Twitter accounts is a direct result of the Councils inability to form an administration. It means the Neighbourhood Partnerships don't exist because their committee and chair cannot be selected.</p> <p>Plus of course they were already on the way out due to the move toward the four Localities instead. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17802#post-252088 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 12:03:14 +0000 chdot 252088@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"but it's not"</p> <p>Perhaps not at moment, but I'm <em>hoping</em> CEC has devised a sensible strategy - with suitable resources... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17802#post-252085 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 11:54:58 +0000 SRD 252085@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"'Sensible' if service is as good/better "</p> <p>but it's not. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17802#post-252083 Tue, 06 Jun 2017 11:40:33 +0000 chdot 252083@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>'Sensible' if service is as good/better (some Local Teams have been better than others).</p> <p>"</p> <p>South Team (@south_team)<br /> 05/06/2017, 10:14<br /> Acc closing Friday.
