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.

ViewAfter many years the Council finally has new powers to penalise inappropriate or incorrect parking.
Work is due to take place to replace the steps leading from the Water of Leith pathway up to the corner of Magdala Crescent/Douglas Crescent.
Towards the end of last year the long awaited pavement “build out” was installed on the entrance to Orchard Drive.
For many years there has been concerns about the safety of what is known as Farmer’s Junction at the top of Strachan Road as presently it is very difficult to access this junction safely as a pedestrian.
The enforcement of the ban on pavement parking by a small team of Parking Attendant began at the end of January.
Closures to start on Monday 26 February for 5 nights
