Then she'll stick to her guns and no mistake. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8927#post-91267 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 15:41:58 +0000 cc 91267@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>My impression is that the council is running scared. Most of its big transport initiatives of recent years have given the impression of having been so badly managed that they've turned into epic disasters - the congestion charge, the trams, TiE. The council has been kicked so hard it has bruises on its bruises. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8927#post-91266 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 15:37:49 +0000 steveo 91266@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>Lesley Hinds, the city’s transport leader, insisted the move was just a proposal at this stage and that the reaction from the public would be key in determining whether to press ahead with the charges.</em></p> <p>Does this councillor ever make a decision? Unless we're aiming for direct democracy where every decision can be debated by citizens in a forum then asking the public if they're ok with a proposal, when they'll clearly knock it back, is just spineless. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8927#post-91261 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 15:09:35 +0000 cc 91261@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> <em>The Royal Highland Showground at Ingliston is also likely to be included, but marches, demonstrations, and the city’s raft of festivals would not.</em><br /> "</p> <p>Sounds OK then hopefully. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=8927#post-91255 Fri, 16 Nov 2012 14:20:43 +0000 chdot 91255@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"<br /> Hearts and Hibs set for new council charges over traffic disruption at city events</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/latest-news/hearts-and-hibs-set-for-new-council-charges-over-traffic-disruption-at-city-events-1-2640691" rel="nofollow">http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/latest-news/hearts-and-hibs-set-for-new-council-charges-over-traffic-disruption-at-city-events-1-2640691</a></p> <p>Ho ho, just what Hearts needs!!</p> <p>Watch out POP2. </p>
