Brief Highlights from NTBCC’s 10 August Zoom Meeting
A second, very successful, NTBCC meeting using the Zoom platform with members of the public both welcome and involved. Despite some last minute technical issues (& inability by some NTBCC members to locate the Zoom link-in details!) – we were happy to record 15 community councillors were present (virtually) – including one of our office bearers from the back seat of a car many miles from Edinburgh.
Also we all appreciated attendance by 5 ward councillors – many thanks to Councillors Doran, Miller & Mowat from the City centre ward (almost a full house) and also Councillors Osler & Barrie from Inverleith Ward for joining us. Having Councillors present is really helpful in many of the discussions, both to understand current council thinking as well as being able to pick up issues.
As an aside – we also regularly extend an invitation to Leith Walk ward councillors as a significant part of NTBCC’s area lies within Leith Walk ward. They would be very welcome at future community council meetings.
Last, but by no means least, almost a dozen members of the public. And we mustn’t forget the roving Broughton Spurtle editor also joining us from afar.
We would also thank Police Scotland for providing an excellent summary of their activities in the city centre – unprompted by us – much appreciated. Key messages were a continued issue with cycle thefts (incl. Just Eat hire cycles), police checks for Covid-compliance on licensed premises, reported improvements in anti-social behaviour at Waverley Mall with the temporary village now set up and increased focus on speed checks across the city centre.
