๐Ÿ›๏ธ Drum Brae care home

& more! Full Council March 2023. The background is a green-tinted group photo of the Green councillor group. At Leader's Questions, @AlysGreens questioned the council leader's commitment to the cap on short term lets after his Planning and DM Sub Committee convenors did not use new planning legislation to refuse an STL and retain much needed residential housing. ๐Ÿ˜๏ธ Short Term Lets. "Can the council leader confirm if he still supports a cap on short term lets, and if so, how will he deliver one when DM Sub committee manifestly refuses to use its powers to refuse them, and some of his coalition partners clearly prioritise big business over residents?" - Cllr Alys Mumford, Green Group Co-convenor
