Position on our asks:
Support for investment of 10% of transport budget — No — "As an active walker myself, I do believe in sustained investment in cycling and walking. However, I do not support the allocation of 10% of the transport budget on cycling. The state of the roads with potholes and the likes is a priority to fix city-wide (one of the main topics on the doorsteps) which - when achieved, will benefit pedestrians, vehicle users and cyclists in equal measure."
Support for high quality infrastructure — Partial — "I do think Edinburgh would benefit from an ongoing review of its cycle paths and seek scope for more building further cycle paths. We must however have the capacity & financial resource to be able to build and crucially I feel, to maintain."
Support for removing local barriers — Partial — "There are several barriers to active travel across the city, the main one that has been brought to my attention during the campaign is the shocking state of our roads with the number of potholes."
