  1. Apparently looking to increase cycle spending to 5% of the transport budget...

    "TRANSPORT

    • Roll out cycle training to all P6 children.

    • Maintain good condition of roads and pavements, use £3m to fix potholes.

    • Increase the spend on cycling to five per cent of transport budget and improve maintenance of cycle network.

    • Implement further residents’ parking zones where demanded.

    • Present a revised business case of the extension of the tram line down Leith Walk and consider the best way to get trams to Little France"

    I'll maintain a healthy scepticism. Can't imagine the tram line extension would be a vote winner...

    Rolling out cycle training is already CEC policy, but it's good to see it in a party manifesto.

    Extending tram to RIE could be a vote winner if anyone thought it could be delivered...

    Leith to RIE (via St Andrew Square and Waverley) would have been a vote winner, but!

    At the risk of thread drift, it occurred to me the other day that the RIE is a < 1000m tunnel (under 'Craigmillar Hill') away from the South Suburban line.
