Candidates were finalised yesterday for the Edinburgh North Eastern & Leith constituency in the Scottish Parliamentary elections.
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.
Life imitating art.

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.

Dear Spurtle,

It's somewhat appropriate, being just above the illustration of the long extinct Dodo ….
