Kevin Lang
Councillor for Almond, Lib Dem Group Leader
ViewAt the 2022 Council Elections, the Liberal Democrat group in Edinburgh doubled in number to 12 councillors.
Following the elections, we took up leadership positions on three non-political committees and begun to make important strides in the Council for residents.
So far we have achieved big wins on pavement parking, tourist tax, EV charging, trees management, playground maintenance, school air quality and speeding enforcement.
In March 2023, we won the Corstorphine/Murrayfield by-election, with Fiona Bennett becoming our 13th councillor.

Residents are frequently in touch with frustrations about overrunning utility works - especially when it appears that there is no one working on the site. The Lib Dem team are exploring ways to improve this.
The CCTV camera that sits at the junction of Craigleith on the Northen pathways has been removed temporarily as it needs upgrading.
There has been a lot of coverage in the media recently about schools and reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (RACC) that had used as a building material.
