Edinburgh Council emailed this morning:
Trade Unions have suspended planned strike action from 6 – 14 September while their members vote on whether or not to accept the most recent national pay offer.
We have updated our recovery plan to take account of this and are now advising the following.
Continue readingBin collections and street cleaning services restarted following strike action. Our crews are working hard to clear as much waste and litter as they can across the city. However, it’s looking increasingly likely that strike action will commence again from Tuesday 6 September.
Unfortunately, this means we’ve had to update our operational plans. To allow our crews to focus on grey and green wheelie bin collections we’ll be suspending garden waste collections this Thursday and Friday (1 and 2 September) and changing our advice for residents.
We will be keeping our website and Twitter page up to date with the latest news and advice and would recommend people check this regularlywww.edinburgh.gov.uk/binstrike and www.twitter.com/Edinburgh_CC

LHNCC’s neighbours, Leith Links Community Council have created this petition calling for better bus services for Leith: https://www.change.org/p/better-bus-services-for-leith. To quote the petition,
We have NO buses at all on the north side of Leith Links, although 1000s of new residents are moving into large new housing developments there. Having to walk across the Links (especially in the dark) is a safety (especially for women) issue as well as a transport issue.
We have lost the 22 bus (that we were promised would stay, at least until the tram is running).
There is no direct bus to the Western General although Leithers are generally referred there by NHS services, rather than to the RIE.
Bus stops are being removed or spaced out too far apart, all around the city, which makes it difficult for older people to use the bus system.
Bus lanes now seem to be threatened, which will slow down bus travel and make it less attractive – thus encouraging more car use.
