We’re all set for today’s transport and environment committee. Obviously the city centre transformation is the big one - but also a parking strategy, bottle deposit return scheme and a motion on festival advertising on the agenda. Might be a long day.

Petitioners are calling for an independent air study on pollution levels on Roseburn Terrace amid road layout changes for a cycle route. John Yellowlees says: “It’s our concern that any studies on the impact on air pollution should be see to be independent.”

We're almost set for @Edinburgh_CC's transport and environment committee. On the agenda today is the tram extension to Newhaven and the Open Streets/City Centre Transformation project. @EdinburghTories have drafted in Cllr Mowat and Cllr Whyte for the meeting. Here's the latest take on the tram final business case. Worth pointing out that although councillors will vote on whether to back the plans today, it will still need the approval of the full council next month.
