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 local Lib Dem team has successfully stopped proposals to cut school budgets.
A survey was published by the council on residents’ attitudes towards the low traffic neighbourhood scheme around Manse Road and Featherhalls in Corstorphine.
After 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.
