Spokes Council Election Hustings: “Transport with particular reference to Cycling”
March 28, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
Local Council elections take place on 5th May. The Spokes hustings on March 28 will challenge representatives of the main parties represented on Edinburgh City Council to explain and defend their transport and cycling policies for the next 5 years. All speakers are candidates in the election.
Each speaker will have 5 minutes to outline their transport and cycling policies for the next 5 years, after which there will be a one-hour QA during which speakers will face searching questions from the online audience.
- Conservative – TBA
- Greens – Cllr Claire Miller
- Labour – Cllr Scott Arthur
- Lib Dem – Sanne Dijkstra-Downie
- SNP – Cllr Lesley Macinnes
- QA chaired by Ewan Maclean of Blackford Safe Routes and the inspirational Wee Unicorns Bike Bus.
Spokes has an active membership of some 1000 people, old and young, female and male, and has campaigned for cycling and wider sustainable transport in Edinburgh and the Lothians for nearly 50 years. We have run hustings meetings at every election during that time.
