“I'd be looking for a refund”
That’s seriously good suggestion.

Clearly the (E)TRO system isn't fit for purpose
There should also be a presumtion in favour of active travel added to the legislation - so that roads can easily be changed to make it easier to install walking, cycling and low-traffic infra, with a very high bar to cross for any objectors. Conversely, if parking or loading are to be added, there should be a rigorous process and justification to do that.

A second similar Edinburgh Live article, with more quotes:

BTW, none of the people there were "furious" - the press asked us all not to smile, FFS

And a couple of better write-ups from the Edinburgh Reporter:

Asked if there was "absolutely no way" the measures affected by the wording errors could be retained, she said: "We are not aware of any way we can retain them."
However, following the sub-committee decision, Morningside Green councillor Ben Parker said he believed the council's transport committee had the power to correct the wording and make the measures legal.

Was just about to post that link!
“
Thank you to everyone who wrote to councillors about the traffic filters outside the school! Your emails made a difference, and we’re delighted to say that the council voted to make the filters on Whitehouse Loan permanent – the one outside James Gillespie’s Primary school, as well as the one at Strathearn Road.

Rest worth a read too

I have seen official confirmation / comms that it's now a full report coming to TEC on 18th June instead of the promised/minor Business Bulletin item.

That's positive at least. I had been hopeful they can pull the date forward but at least this gives officials time to actually form a plan, I imagine it was a mad scramble preparing for the TRO Sub. Still going to be an interesting timing challenge with the 6 month fallow period, and then a 6 month consultation period that will likely clash with council elections.

If they do a permanent TRO, there should be only 3 weeks for objections. No need to do another consultation

“and then a 6 month consultation period“
Perhaps some of our new MSPs (especially the ones who are still Cllrs) could whizz through a useful amendment banning perpetual consultations…
Perhaps not
