## Resource

Edinburgh’s transport committee may be cutting short the North-South tram dream, opting only for the southern stretch and leaving Granton out — a move sparking fierce backlash from MP Tracy Gilbert. She warns that skipping the northern route will deepen poverty and inequality, as it would directly serve some of Scotland’s most deprived communities. The proposed line could unlock jobs at Craigleith Retail Park and Western General Hospital, ease recruitment for shift workers, and connect residents to education and the airport — especially vital as thousands of new homes rise along the Granton Waterfront. After decades of advocacy, Gilbert calls abandoning this vision now a betrayal of progress and social justice. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
