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.

An update on new plans for road and pavement repairs in the Inverleith ward.
Many people have been in touch regarding an update on the re-opening status of Blackhall Library, I have followed up on this on behalf of residents and enclosed the below response.
Last week's Transport and Environment committee saw councillors approve the following new projects across Leith Walk ward.
The Scottish Government must fairly fund local schools and libraries impacted including Lorne Primary, Trinity Primary and Blackhall Library.
Cross-party councillors have backed the Lib Dems' calls for Leith Walk's narrowest pavements to be re-assessed.
