There's no point in environmental regulation that doesn't have sufficient grounds to actually start tests. Glad to get committee's support for CEC to follow this up with ScotGov after resident & x-party concerns were raised. The fight for a cleaner Water of Leith continues... 🌊

https://t.co/hZxkLKcBTZ Sewage dumped in Scottish rivers 68 times a day – worst areas revealed. The number of spills into rivers, lochs, and beaches, including our Water of Leith, is even higher than previously thought. @ERCScot @BenMacpherson @KatrinaFaccenda @JackRMCaldwell

The right to protest is a critical element of any democracy. While we do not condone any action that breaks the law, we are shocked by the harsh sentences passed down to @JustStop_Oil activists, while those polluting our planet continue to go unsanctioned. https://t.co/AWEROyZjRC

We're delighted with @forthports' recent revival and restoration of the Victoria Swing Bridge and surrounds. So we were disheartened to see this graffiti appear overnight along the gorgeous blue wrought iron trusses. Anyone know anything? #Leith #deserves #better

🌍 We are urging @scotgov to push ahead with creating a legal right to a healthy environment in the Scottish Human Rights Bill. 👉🏽 Repost & join us throughout this week in sending this message to @ScotGovFM!

🚨Avoid the water in Portobello tomorrow🚨 I’m extremely concerned at the alert re the water in Portobello. This is a threat to human health. Scottish Water is publicly owned. The Scottish Government should be stepping up, but they are missing in action (1/2)
@ScottishEPA is temporarily advising against bathing and paddling,at Portobello Beach from Pipe Lane to Joppa Rocks, due to the potential risk to human health. Signage has been posted at the area, and further details are available on our website, and SEPA: https://t.co/ztIbGlX5Ws

This is simply unacceptable. Something needs to be done urgently.

https://t.co/cr8arUcZHx It's so sad that the council wants to monitor why we can't swim or paddle in Porty instead of dealing with it. "The matter is currently under investigation, and we’ll continue to liaise with SEPA and our partners to monitor the situation" @ERCScot

Worth the wait! After a long restoration, the Victoria Swing Bridge officially reopened this morning with a new #community flag depicting ‘#Leith #Future’ + a piped procession led by #Scotland’s National Piper. @forthports @CitadelYCLeith

Hi, @edinhelp - we got a message from the council that our request to clear the overflowing bins from Dock Place had been completed. The picture taken a few minutes ago shows an even worse situation. Can you help? @KatrinaFaccenda @adamnolsmcvey @Edinburgh_CC

Time for a chat about landuse planning in the Pentlands ? Or shall we just share some more photos of the Water of Leith ?
A month's worth of rain (48mm) has been recorded at Edinburgh Botanic Gardens, in the 36 hours since 7am on Wednesday. Much larger totals have also been recorded at other sites on the outskirts of the capital: Bush 111 mm Comiston 96 mm Nunraw Abbey 95 mm Torduff 91 mm

We think Chris Whitty and the Royal Academy of Engineering would support all of us asking these questions, so let’s get started!

Would you join us in asking the @Edinburgh_CC, primarily via councillors @adamnolsmcvey and @JackRMCaldwell, where we are in understanding any potential health risk from sewage discharges into the silt, particularly from the eight sewage outlets discharging into the basins?
