✋This is well worth a read, you can find @IreneBeautyman reflections on the 20 min neighbourhood concept too ⬇️📖 @ALLIANCEScot @improvserv @P_H_S_Official
How can 20-minute neighbourhoods develop to the benefit of everyone in a community? That question was investigated by our Academy programme and partners through the 'Exploring Scotland's 20-minute neighbourhoods' series.
The final report is available now: alliance-scotland.org.uk/blo…

This Thursday is #CleanAirDay. To mark it, we are planning a short (!) ride around the boundaries of Edinburgh’s new low-ambition unenforced LEZ. edinburgh.gov.uk/downloads/d…
It isn’t a formal ride with marshals but if you’d like to join we’ll be leaving Middle Meadow Walk at 8pm.

NEW: Study finds that “Halting new extraction projects is a necessary step, but still not enough to stay within our rapidly dwindling carbon budget.
Some existing fossil fuel licences and production will need to be revoked and phased out early.”

I've been having many conversations with partners on how we collectively respond to both the #Climate & cost of living crises at the same time. Through those I keep coming back to this visioning project from @Nesta_Scotland I got to be part of last year. theplace.nesta.org.uk/

When you go out to vote on Thursday, you'll be using the STV voting system. Here's a very quick guide to how it works. The best advice is always to give your genuine first preference your #1, then Vote 'til you Boke! #LES22
You can find more detail here: ballotbox.scot/councils/stv-…
ALT Infographic titled "Local Elections 2022: STV Facts". Text reads: How do I vote? Mark candidates in order of preference starting with 1, 2, 3, etc. Don't use a cross! Do I need to rank every candidate? No. You can preference as many or as few as you like, but it's important to rank as many as you feel comfortable with. Can I hurt my first preference's chances by using later preferences? No. Later preferences only count if your first preference is elected or eliminated. How are votes counted? Based on the number of first preference votes, the minimum number of votes needed to win a seat is calculated. Any candidates with at least that many votes are elected. If they have more votes than that, the extra votes will transfer. If nobody has enough votes to win, lower placed candidates will be eliminated and their votes will transfer.
