I believe in community and the important of listening to residents needs and voices.
Therefore I think by having a meaningful consultation with residents of New Town regarding the issue of waste management and ugly bins in New Town can be resolved. We must communicate and have significant dialogues together between council and residents in addressing the need to rule out communal bin house and find out viable alternatives. I advocate for compostable waste especially food waste. To work on waste collection that works with residents. To make Edinburgh in line like other European city.
On the condition of our streets, I notice as you are all aware how many pot holes and how dangerous these pot holes for pedestrians, elderly residents, bikers and all of us. Safety is priority.
I shall also ensure the business small scale enterprises have a say .I will ring fence fund for Rape Crisis Centre in Edinburgh to ensure victims of rape and violence against women are given protection and access to justice. I will work with teacher union to improve the current condition for example the practice of zero hours contract for teacher is a shameful practice & dangerous for Scottish education quality.To work with carer ( paid and unpaid) in improving their working condition and more reward to their contribution to society as carer.I will ensure the community police will make Edinburgh is a safe place for children and its residents, to make tourists will remember how clean, friendly and safe beautiful place it is as I encountered it back in 2000.
