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. And in November 2024, we won the Colinton/Fairmilehead by-election, with Louise Spence becoming the first ever Liberal Democrat Councillor for the ward.

ViewThe ongoing closure of Murrayfield Place is causing particular problems, but Now that the cold weather has receded, these should be completed within the next 2 weeks or so and Roseburn should begin to return to normal.
Significant surface flooding was a serious problem over Christmas and the New Year.
Both sites are under threat, and many residents have been in touch with concerns.
The rollout of the new bin hubs is currently taking place in Roseburn, Coltbridge and parts of Corstorphine.
The biggest issue residents have been contacting us about recently are poor road & pavement conditions.
After it was damaged at the end of last year, there is now a plan to repair the Blue Bridge.
