I can only assure you that I am taking notice of all the feedback and trying to respond to everything in a constructive manner.<br /><br />Please don't ever hesitate to e-mail me directly if there's a specific local route issue you want me to look at:<br /><br />andrew.burns@edinburgh.gov.uk<br /><br />Thanks.<br /><br />AndrewAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01684349200288599810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662128.post-44704820348060933692015-01-20T17:52:55.314+00:002015-01-20T17:52:55.314+00:00Andrew, Thanks for responding again. I can see you...Andrew, Thanks for responding again. I can see you are a reasonable man who is at least willing to accept others have a differing view.<br /><br />I trust Edinburgh Council will take notice when the protest march against this change happens.<br /><br />As for general city-liveability stuff I can't agree with that either. Part of city-liveability is being able to get to work every day. Edinburgh Council have already made this more and more difficult for me over the years, and this will make it more so again. Whatever money is being wasted changing the signs on the roads would be better spent fixing the pot holes which cover Edinburghs roads.<br /><br />Cheers,<br />DaveDave Robertsonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662128.post-33189154670426397642015-01-20T16:50:39.350+00:002015-01-20T16:50:39.350+00:00Dave
Thanks for the comment ...
... accept/respe...Dave<br /><br />Thanks for the comment ...<br /><br />... accept/respect the validity of your view, and that you clearly disagree with the policy.<br /><br />It's not 'ALL ABOUT' avoiding fatalities (important though that is obviously); it's as much about general city-liveability issues.<br /><br />It was also a clear Manifesto commitment of ours in 2012; then a Coalition commitment to further consult - all of which we've followed through.<br /><br />Just as importantly - the actual roll-out of the programme will be of quite some (chronological) length [I've referenced the implementation plan in the blog post] and all the usual TRO processes --- and thus more consultation --- still has to happen.<br /><br />Anyhow - many thanks for taking the time to check ut the blog and make a comment ... it is appreciated, even if we may disagree.<br /><br />AndrewAndrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01684349200288599810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6662128.post-88736014975417799512015-01-20T16:23:59.462+00:002015-01-20T16:23:59.462+00:00Thats just a pile of rubbish Andrew, with no subst...Thats just a pile of rubbish Andrew, with no substantive data to back it up.<br /><br />For example, one simple question. How many people killed or injured by cars doing between 20-30mph in Edinburgh in the past year (or any time period you choose). If you don't have the stats to answer that question, then everything else the council comes up with is irrelevent. You can't even quantify the size of problem we are dealing with.<br /><br />Fairly sure that most deaths/injuries are caused by cars doing far in excess of 30mph. I look forward to Edinburgh Council proving me wrong however, with figures, not waffle.Dave Robertsonnoreply@blogger.com
