Parking woes

forge ties with our global friends to build a better and more prosperous nation.

Just doing the day job. The Tories don’t like it. Are we expected to ignore the EU countries just because the Tories think so?

Patricia Anderson

62 per cent Scotland votes to stay in EU. MSPS might be trying to see if there’s a way to stay in EU. Makes sense to me. If Brexit hadn’t been voted for by majority in England none of this would be happening.

Diane Hewlett Brexit has not caused division? HS2 has not caused division? Austerity has not caused division. I really enjoy how Unionists do not see the division that their Unionist politics produces. When Scottish politician­s are working for the interests of Scotland Tories will always find it a useless exercise. They simply do not want Scottish politician­s to work for their country’s interests.

Andrew Downie Surely there are better things to do in governance than this farce of a trip.

Brett A Murphy Divisive they say, when the Tories are responsibl­e for the worst division ever in leaving the EU. Pot and kettle spring to mind.

Valerie Bandd Drivers in Edinburgh could be fined £60 or have their car towed away if caught double-parking next to communal bins.

What’s the fine when a council bin-skip is half dumped on a parking space? Zip diddly squat.

That’s a start. Not sure why the council are so reluctant to tackle pavement parking. If our elected councillor­s spent a day using a wheelchair or pushing a double-buggy around on streets where drivers regularly park on the pavement, they would soon do something. But I guess pavement parking isn’t a big deal in the leafy suburbs where most of them live.

John Smith

Too many cars for the city to handle. It will soon be one car per household unless off-street and no exceptions. Bike deliveries only without a permit, leading to no vans and no lorries except with a permit to deliver in Edinburgh.

Bruce Johnston If there was enough parking for residents I am sure it wouldn’t be as bad
