Tourist Tax
Tourist tax or Transient Visitor Levy will be discussed at the City Chambers where the Pollcy and Sustainability Committee will hear the positive results of the recent consultation, and it will also be discussed at The Scottish Parliament where a committee will go through the bill line by line to make any agreed amendments to the legislation.
The Water of Leith Conservation Trust
The work which the Water of Leith Conservation Trust does is immense. On Monday they moved more than 20 bags of rubbish from the waterway – all while some of them were using waders.
The Company Bakery has moved
With just one day’s closure to allow the bakery to become established in its new home at Eskmills, the Company Bakery has announced that it is baking bread in the Ivanhoe Building there.
As well as the bakery there is to be a coffee shop in the spring all to tempt you out of the city to buy a sourdough or two.
And remember you can also order home delivery.
Cycle challenge
Some of you may be interested in taking part in a cycle challenge from Edinburgh to St Andrews. It is open to everyone who can cycle 60 miles in one day…and e-bikes are welcome. But you have to also be able to make your own way home from St Andrews.
It will follow the Way of St Andrews, one of the eight pilgrim ways in Scotland.
