Still an issue that name thing 😐
1/2 The Mayors/ Provosts element of the ‘debate’ is dispiriting - I remember when @csppscotland we ran an event on #DirectlyElectedMayors in Holyrood and it was boycotted by MSPs who didn’t like the name, rather than engage in debate on their form and function 🤦🏻‍♂️

Interesting initiative here to rebalance relationship btwn #PeopleAndPlace where a sense of common ownership is keenly felt in the hearts n minds of the local population - nice one @JoeJFagan delivering on towns policy work we developed together @csppscotland ‘a few years’ ago!
The proposals include demolishing over a third of the town to make way for a new neighbourhood. buff.ly/4axe0Zb

It’s great to see the ideas we promoted almost a decade ago to the month in @csppscotland policy paper entitled “Branching Out” - finally coming to fruition on a High Street near you! 👍

As we approach Xmas w thoughts of roasting turkey (greener options available) we need to turn our attention to roosting chickens - as the economic infrastructure members of that species come home in large numbers all across 🇬🇧 a direct result of decades of underinvestment 🤦🏻‍♂️

Each of Scotland’s ‘8 and a bit’ regional economies should have a Regional Park - we’re looking at such an idea here in the #ForthValley with @NatureScot - should also be more local parks like one being created here theleven.org/ with a prog we led thru @ScottishEPA
