Lothian Buses driver injured in alleged attack by group of youths at Royal Infirmary A Lothian Buses driver is receiving medical treatment following an alleged assault by a large group of youths at the Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh.

There is a worrying trend of ASB directed at drivers which should concern us all. I hope the driver is ok and those involved are caught and charged.

It was great to be out speaking to voters in Oxgangs with Catriona Munro for Edinburgh South Western this morning before the worst named storm (Dave) in history hit. Who knew a priceless work of art was protecting a bin chute in Oxgangs Crescent?

Once introduced and residents and visitors see and feel the benefits of CPZ’s in their area they rarely want to return to the free for all of old. The policy is sound and only introduced in areas with notable parking issues currently.

Nothing happens until TEC revisits the vote. Further consultation is unnecessary in my opinion.

Two Edinburgh councillors censured after breaching code of conduct Two Edinburgh councillors have been censured by the Standards Commission for failing to declare an interest when they took part in meetings on controversial traffic measures near where they lived.

In light of this decision my Transport & Environment Committee will now have to revisit the vote taken on the Braids Estate LTN.

Edinburgh city centre: Future of Princes Street and George Street up for debate Big changes to two of Edinburgh's most famous streets are expected to be the focus of debate at the City Chambers later this year.

My concern here is we have spent a decade discussing George Street and delivered nothing. Unless there is some compromise across the political groups in the Council we’ll still be talking about ‘what should be done’ with Princes Street in 2036!

Seven teenagers charged after man, 38, stabbed in Edinburgh The man was taken to hospital following the attack in the Clovenstone area of Edinburgh on Sunday night.

Thinking of everyone in Clovenstone after the stabbing in Clovenstone Gardens. Hoping the man injured makes a full recovery. Incidents like this affect whole communities — wishing residents strength and support. Safer streets for everyone should always be the goal.

Why has the world's first hydrogen double-decker fleet failed? The multi-million pound project in Aberdeen was meant to be the future of clean public transportation.

I’m pleased Lothian Buses are committed to electrifying their fleet instead of banking on hydrogen — a decision that will deliver cleaner air, lower emissions, and a more sustainable transport future for our city. ⚡🚌

Listen to hard-working families on budget - Christopher Cowdy Every February Edinburgh Council sets its budget for the year. The process usually involves council officers proposing their ideas, with each political party amending it to suit their own priorities.

Cllr Cowdy conveniently doesn’t mention he would cut services and jobs to fund his £9m single year Council Tax cut. 🤔
