This is even more so when we see how close the canal is to Wester Hailes, Sighthill and Broomhouse, where some of the city’s pockets of real poverty are found. In the Calders 80% of the residents don’t have access to cars (a supreme irony given how landlocked the neighbourhood is by super-busy roads). What would the impact be if the canal were much more connected to the residents’ lives, both as a source of wellbeing and leisure but also as a route into the city. What an opportunity that would be!.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghgreens.org.uk/site/blog/canal-city-deal" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghgreens.org.uk/site/blog/canal-city-deal</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4793#post-50970 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 17:50:30 +0000 kaputnik 50970@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Only took 7 paragraphs to mention the "tram" word... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4793#post-50963 Wed, 21 Dec 2011 17:19:38 +0000 chdot 50963@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/blog/newsblog/post/160/Reducing-poverty-and-inequality---Edinburghs-five-year-economic-strategy" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/blog/newsblog/post/160/Reducing-poverty-and-inequality---Edinburghs-five-year-economic-strategy</a> </p>
