Geoffrey Sampson
Born in Edinburgh and proud of it. Have lived in Fife for almost 70 years and used to love coming through but sadly I cannot find a good thing to say about it. If it wasn't for the football I most probably would not come through.

Relaxing all restrictions and bringing streets to a good condition and get rid of the bariers on side of the road.

Rewinding it back a few years when we had a great Princes Street, St James Centre with affordable shops, parking that you didn’t need a mortgage for, and places to eat and drink where you didn’t need to book and were affordable.
Connor Cunningham
Actually being able to afford to live in it without having to earn over £25k a year or co-habiting.
Jan Clarkson
Cleaner streets, better roads, fewer boarded up shops, no homelessness and a bit less rain - the list is never ending.
