UNBELIEVABLE

This morning, the Spurtle received the following photo of a document, whose source could not vouchsafe its authenticity. 

As a public service, we have considered it. 

To the best of our understanding, the document has no basis in fact. 

We can only conclude that it represents a monstrous imposition upon the city.

Discuss.

TIME TO CONSIDER CLIMATE CHANGE

Submitted by Editor on

The City of Edinburgh Council has announced that it recognises the vital role of local government in addressing climate change. In May last year, it formally declared a climate emergency and committed to becoming a carbon-neutral city by 2030.

In November 2019, the Council launched an online survey to ascertain what Edinburgh residents think about the climate emergency, and what local actions should be taken to safeguard the planet for future generations.
