Position on our asks:
Support for investment of 10% of transport budget — Yes — "It is vital that all road users can use a shared environment confidently and safely and that requires investment in education and infrastructure."
Support for high quality infrastructure — Partial — "In principle I support this but we must take into account local circumstances in deciding where resources should be best spent."
Support for removing local barriers — Partial — "As in Q2, each set of circumstances needs to be fully considered, rather than a blanket assurance given that I would fully support this, irrespective of circumstances. I am, however, sympathetic to the issues raised."
Stephanie SMITH (Scottish Conservative and Unionist, stephanie.smith@scottishconservatives.com, @sjhmurray, Facebook page, website): not yet responded.

Some issues
The pavement along Old Dalkeith Road between Ferniehill and Danderhall should be shared use.
The traffic lights at the ODR/Ferniehill junction should be changed to make it easier to cross as a pedestrian.
Sheriffhall roundabout. Actually Transport Scotland, of course.
Gilmerton-Shawfair. (Mostly in Midlothian)
