EXTRA VA VA VOOM FOR PUSHY PARENTS
Eighteen months of capital trials look set to begin this summer for e-Bebé – an initiative promising to cut city-centre congestion and shave hours off parents’ and carers’ journey times each year.
At July’s Transport & Environment Cmte, Lyons-based urban solutions consultants SeraParfait (SARL) will seek consent to pilot a 300-strong fleet of rentable battery-assisted prams and push-chairs, available for pick-up or deposit at over 20 Edinburgh ‘communication nodes’, starting in August.

ISSUE 360 – OUT SOON!
As you read this, advance copies of the April Spurtle are already spreading across Broughton like strangely musclebound birdwatchers wandering innocently across the beaches of Kharg Island counting puffins.
Issue 360 begins on Page 1 with news of opposition, past and ongoing, to ever more visitor rooms in the area when what Edinburgh citizens really want is homes. There’s news, too, of Council penny-pinching in Powderhall and a People & Places puzzle which over 2 months perplexed and pissed off our readers in unequal proportions. We announce the winner.
