Hi Harry - does this take data for STLs from the planning portal for proposed STLs or does it use the STL register published in excel on the CEC website?

I’m very proud of this project that @wolct.bsky.social has just completed: 2 air source heat pumps, with heating and insulation upgrades in our old Victorian building making all our heating and hot water zero emissions. www.waterofleith.org.uk/blog/2026/03...
Confirmation from Scottish Canals that the first section of a new tow path project was floated into place this morning helping to alleviate pressure on the tow path.
Health and safety upgrade from Sainsburys.
Can we expect to hear more on the draft being prepared on expediting the Longstone Link bridge at TEC on Thursday? The business bulletin suggests so? Been a while since we had a meaningful update 🙏 @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social @cllrconorsavage.bsky.social @chasbooth.bsky.social @kate-c.bsky.social

New local road safety schemes are up for approval at next week's Transport and Environment Committee meeting @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social. This includes the awful Merchiston Ave/ Rochester terrace junction - pedestrians, cyclists and wheelchair users have told us they feel unsafe here.
Coming to TEC next week, additional safety improvements for local pedestrians with some junctions to be improved, shortening the distance they have to cross, dropped kerbs, and slower driver speeds while doing so. Good to see this on busy routes to schools, church, parks, and local shops. 👍
Kingsknowe Road North up for some carriageway resurfacing in proposed Capital Delivery Programme, 26/27 list going to the Transport & Environment committee next week. Expect this will focus on the awful bottom section.
Sainsbury have claimed this step was being fixed as a priority @rosssmckenzie.bsky.social
The evidence after months like this suggests otherwise. Raised at our latest meeting.
86 young runners, joggers, & walkers completed the Hailes Quarry Junior Parkrun on Sunday. A new male course record of 7.14 minutes set too. ⚡️⚡️
Stenhouse Primary joining this Sunday to launch their ‘Health Week’. That’ll swell the ranks. 👍
@spokes.org.uk and we know this will greatly please Peter Hawkins. He can take it easier now. 😁
Good to see @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social out making good on keeping the Burnside Path in good condition early in the season. Good result from previous TEC meetings. @rosssmckenzie.bsky.social @stephenjenkinson.bsky.social @chasbooth.bsky.social @dastonsnp.bsky.social @drscottarthurmp.bsky.social
Hope those celebrating in our community have been enjoying themselves 🙏🏻
Really looking forward to this. If you have good stories to tell, photos to share, and are willing to have a fun interview with us, we’ll want to hear from you. Stay tuned 👌
Down at Ocean Terminal today with the crew visiting The Wee Museum of Memory for reminiscence & recording skills training from Living Memory Association with John. We’re going to be capturing people’s memories of living and working in Longstone as part of a new project this year.
Our community parks and the Water of Leith are bursting into life at the moment. Get out and start enjoying them. So many things to spot, identify, and learn about. 😍
