“are functioning as facilitators and fixers, not leaders”
I suppose it depends what you mean by “functioning”.
‘We’ have to accept that ‘we’ have an agenda (probably several).
We want better facilities to allow/encourage more people to cycle in ‘safety’.
Partly self-interest and partly with the genuine belief that more cycling (and walking) AND less driving would be better for (most) people - AND ‘value for money’.
BUT CEC is stick with ‘not enough money’. Blaming Holyrood or Westminster or International Capitalism doesn’t alter the fact that the way things are isn’t great.
Plenty money for re-creating the St. James Centre, NEW roads and new shiny new rail lines (London and England only it seems) but not putting bollards in Gayfield Square etc.
And little sign of leadership that can begin to fix this.
