Low Emission Zone

I e-mailed Edinburgh Council thus:

Hello

I went to the consultation exercise today at the Leith Asda, and I noticed on the plans that the Eastern edge of the City Centre zone boundary has been distorted to allow access to St Andrew’s House, and the Scottish Parliament building without crossing the line.

I think the boundary should be altered and moved Eastwards; that way the Ministers and Civil Servants would be setting a good example, not a bad, unfair, self- entitled example.

No wonder people are cynical.

which, of course will achieve nothing at all.

The time has come to replace the old 1950’s chintz lampshade. Had to be quite firm about it.
