Summary

Edinburghs transport convener Stephen Jenkinson halts emergency meeting to save controversial traffic filters in Morningside. The filters on Cluny Drive, part of the Greenbank to Meadows Quiet Route, are being removed due to a council order error. The Greens, led by councillor Ben Parker, push for an urgent meeting to rectify the issue, but Jenkinson denies, planning a full report for the June 18th committee meeting. Locals and councillors express disappointment, with Parker criticizing past delays and bureaucracy. Meanwhile, Tory councillor Marie-Clair Munro welcomes clarity. Other filters, like the one on Braid Road, remain permanent, sparking controversy. The council aims for a measured approach, hoping to resolve the long-standing issue.
