Do they really still not understand that any cycle route is only as good as its worst point? If there's a stretch on any route that's not safe, I'm not cycling it, and it doesn't matter how good any other bit of it is.

Apparently Lesley Hinds overrode the objections to the TRO, so the shop will get 'its' parking, albeit with a reduced size of parking bay.

With the lack of powers to control double parking, the drivers would just double park outside an empty bay, and the 'blue meanies' couldnt or wouldnt be able to do anything about it. That is already happening on Leith Walk.

"Can't" in this case, as double parking is a police matter. As I understand it, however, they can only act if the vehicle is causing an obstruction, and anyway they have more important things to do than police such minor traffic violations...
I think there were suggestions that such double parking would be decriminalised to be enforced by parking attendants like the adjacent bay or yellow lines, but that hasn't been made law - I can see there may be difficulties framing such an extension!
