At tomorrow’s Culture & Communities meeting I am moving this addendum about inadequate protections put in place for trees in Princes Street Gardens during last year’s Edinburgh’s Christmas events 🌳🚫

You can read the report and addendum here: 📑

There are many Qs we will be asking officers about how events unfolded last year 🔍 but Greens are also making the case for proactive on-site supervision during this year’s event👷, and calling on the event company to take the issue of tree protection more seriously ✅🌳 (2)

Tomorrow is Housing, Homelessness & Fair Work committee and I’m putting forward several amendments 📝🏡

From plans for retrofitting homes, to supporting workers in the gig economy and reviewing the accessibility of Council allocation processes, read on to find out more ⤵️ (1/) Front page of the meeting agenda

I’m also asking about support for the workforce as part of this amendment, noting our commitment to a just transition, and asking for more information about how homes will be prioritised within the programme, in line with a climate justice approach 💪🌍
