Spokes George St written deputation Spokes Planning Group – Deputation in relation to Item 7.2 - George Street and First New Town – Conclusion of RIBA Stage 4 and Next Steps. Spokes continues to support the aims and objectives of the George Street & First New Town project to create a more pleasant environment for walking and cycling. An essential part of this is restricting traffic volumes on George Street. As such, we strongly object to options three and four as presented in the report. Proceeding with a scheme that does not include physical vehicle controls will result in unfettered vehicle access to the street at all hours of the day, including rat-running and parking.
Delivery cyclists - written deputation from Workers' Observatory https://workersobservatory.org/ Workers’ Observatory Deputation on “Delivery cyclists – Response to motions” Organisation Workers' Observatory Document Type Written Deputation Document Author Boyan Karabaliev (Policy Coordinator) boyan@workersobservatory.org Deputation to Transport and Environment Committee Meeting date 26 Jun 2025 Agenda item Delivery cyclists – Response to motions The Workers' Observatory would like to thank councillors and council officers for engaging with us and for producing this report. We appreciate the inclusion of the Workers' Observatory as a stakeholder and we will be happy to continue facilitating engagement between the local authority and delivery workers. We agree with the view that appropriate cycling infrastructure would improve working conditions of delivery cyclists and reduce conflict with other road users. However, as we stated in our deputation to Full Council on 20 March 2025, the key driver of occasional unsafe behaviour from workers is the immense pressure put on them by delivery platform companies. We recognise the unfortunate lack of powers for local authorities in Scotland to ensure fair working conditions for delivery riders, for whom public space (roads, streets, paths) is the workplace. We request that the report is referred to the Housing, Homelessness, and Fair Work committee, for a further discussion on how the Council can include platform workers in the Fair Work agenda. We ask that
Conservative motion 9.2 Motion by Councillor Cuthbert - Traffic Impact Assessment for City Mobility Plan Road Closures and A720 Congestion “Committee Notes that the City Mobility Plan 2021-2030 proposes significant city centre road closures to create pedestrian priority zones and support net-zero transport goals; Recognises that the A720 Edinburgh City Bypass already handles over 120,000 vehicles daily and operates beyond capacity, with frequent congestion at key junctions; Notes both East Lothian and Midlothian council leaders have written to the Scottish Government to express frustration at delays to the A720 Sheriffhall roundabout improvement project; Notes Traffic Scotland have confirmed that recent events (Edinburgh Marathon on 25 May, Robbie Williams concert on 31 May) caused significant A720 congestion, demonstrating the bypass’s vulnerability to traffic displacement; 5) Recognises that the A720 and surrounding trunk roads lack resilience to handle disruptions from roadworks, incidents, and major events, risking severe congestion and delays across the network; 6) Expresses concern that without proper traffic impact modelling, city centre road closures risk worsening A720 congestion and undermining public support for sustainable transport, with congestion on the A720 having a significant impact on neighbouring parts of the city as cars and HGVs avoiding congestion divert onto local roads, increasing congestion and pollution in residential areas; 7) Therefore, agrees to request a report within two cycles to: (a) Investigate traffic impact of proposed city centre road closures on the A720 and other trunk roads in the area (M8, M9/A8, A1, A90), including scenarios for major events, roadworks, and incidents to assess network resilience; (b) Identify potential mitigation measures including enhanced public transport, traffic management strategies, and consideration of what changes might be needed to the A720 to improve resilience and cope with projected increased …
