Inverleith councillor Lesley Hinds, who is also Labour’s Transport spokesperson, explained: ” I want to listen to a range of views and ideas from a variety of groups and individuals. I want to feed them into our manifesto promises and Edinburgh Labour wants you to be part of our vision for moving Edinburgh forward after the elections in May. Here are some of the key issues I believe are facing Edinburgh’s transport system today:
-
How are we going to keep Edinburgh moving in the 21st Century in a way that meets the needs of residents, commuters and businesses, whilst looking after our planet?
-
How do we meet the challenge of an increasing population and car ownership?
-
How do we enable more people to make a positive choice for public transport, walking and cycling?”
The consultation event will take place at Stockbridge House in Cheyne Street on Monday evening from 7pm. If you are unable to attend but would like to put forward any ideas or comments please contact Lesley Hinds by email at lhinds@blueyonder.co.uk
