Edinburgh Trams Ignored the People

from Edinburgh News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Edinburgh’s tram expansion plans hit a wall after 11,000 residents loudly said no—only for the council to ignore them and cherry-pick data that favored commuters. Even then, less than half supported the project, and the critics weren’t car lovers—they were bike-owning locals. The real problem? The sky-high cost with no government funding. It’s time the council stopped chasing expensive dreams and fixed the crumbling roads and sidewalks right now. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
