Cherry picking

Ali Renwick

They want to turn it into Tellytubby Land. Are they really so stupid that they can’t see the similarity? Turning a lovely garden into something that resembles the set of a children’s programme is a ridiculous idea.

Alastair Browne

If you don’t personally like the design that’s fine but complaining because it slightly resembles a place from a pre-school show from about 20 years ago seems odd.

Andy Stephen They should help the homeless along Princes

Street first. That should be priority No.1.

Edinburgh MP Joanna Cherry has been accused of political self-indulgence by announcing she wants to quit Westminster for Holyrood amid claims the resulting by-election could cost nearly £250,000. Joanna Cherry would be an asset in Holyrood. And I’d be happy if all MPS left Westminster to it and all business with the UK was transacted through the Scottish government.

Westminster is the past, Holyrood is the future. Cherry clearly recognises this.

Jim Taylor

She’s entitled to choose where she thinks she’s better placed to serve the people.

James W Quinn

Just all of you come up the road to Holyrood. I think we can all agree your presence in Westminster will never achieve anything as we all know Westminster is hugely overwhelmingly biased towards England. Come home to Holyrood and win us independence because only with independence will we be able to truly govern Scotland properly.

Graeme Scott them. Time to get the great people of Edinburgh out of their cars and on to public transport, walking or on to their bikes to help reduce congestion and pollution.

Scott Gibson

Do they pay tax and insurance like motorists or do we motorists pay for them to use our roads?

Stewart Mann

The only reason motorists need insurance is because they do so much damage to other road users.

Owen Merrick

How about taxing pedestrians? They use the roads.
