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.

ViewThe Council has agreed money for a flood study in North Gyle, to see what is needed to fix the problem.
After the Lib Dem budget for the Council put £2 million into flood prevention measures, we now know which areas will be getting projects.
The Lawn Tennis Assocation (LTA) are investing in four tennis courts in Edinburgh and Inverleith Park is amongst the locations to be upgraded.
Temporary toilets will be placed in Inverleith Park again this summer.
The decision by Lothian Buses to remove the 41 service with very little notice and no discussion has been met with great frustration by residents.
Highlights include new public toilets, road safety issues on Canaan Lane and parking dispensations.
