It's this month's Full Council meeting and Green Councillors are raising the new site for the Gaelic Medium Education secondary school 🏫, improving the transparency of Council meetings 🏦, public toilet access 🚽, carbon emissions 💚and pedestrianisation 🚶‍♀️👩‍🦽

Sighthill-Gorgie Councillor @CllrDanHeap has raised the issue of a shortage of public toilets in the city, including in the Gorgie-Dalry area, following a campaign to improve provision in the area by @Living_Rent

@CllrDanHeap @Living_Rent At Leader's Questions today, Green Councillor @AlysGreens challenged the Council Leader on his administration's support for the Workplace Parking Levy

@CllrDanHeap @Living_Rent @AlysGreens Today the Council is discussing the Edinburgh School Uniform Bank. @CllrBenParker asked the ESUB deputation about what we can do to help families impacted by UK Government's unfair migration controls to access school uniforms

@CllrDanHeap @Living_Rent @AlysGreens @CllrBenParker The Council is now debating the annual performance report, with @CllrBenParker highlighting that the latest data made available after the report was written confirms that the Council is overshooting its carbon emissions and is behind target.

Green Councillors support striking college staff and @Alex4Craig_Dudd reiterated that position today, asking the Council Leader to write to Edinburgh College pledging Council support for their strikers and for a positive resolution.

A few more issues Green Councillors worked on at yesterday's Full Council...

Councillor @CllrBenParker's amendment will mean Council officers will consider a range of proposals to change how the Council conducts its business, to ensure it is more inclusive of Councillors and residents in all their diversity.

@CllrBenParker Green Cllr @AlysGreens joined up with @KateC_SNP to highlight the role Edinburgh Leisure can play in providing access to toilet facilities. The proposal to ask EL to provide access was defeated by other parties, but we will keep pushing on this

@CllrBenParker @AlysGreens @KateC_SNP Transport Committee member @KayleighFONeill successfully argued for the Council to commit itself to pedestrianising the city chambers, a beautiful civic space often used as a carpark. A report on this will come to Councillors.

@CllrBenParker @AlysGreens @KateC_SNP @KayleighFONeill Councillor @KayleighFONeill was busy yesterday, also bringing a motion to explore a possible site that could host the new Gaelic Medium Education secondary school. Regrettably, Councillors voted to delay this, but Greens believe further delay is unacceptable.
