Trams North or Lock In Inequality | Edinburgh News

Edinburgh’s MP Tracy Gilbert is sounding the alarm as city councillors consider cutting the northern tramline extension—warning it would deepen inequality in Granton, Muirhouse, and Pilton, locking communities out of vital transport links. With major developments like Granton Waterfront and Art Works ramping up demand, she argues the tram is essential—not just a political gesture—but a decades-long commitment to equitable growth. As the Transport and Environment Committee votes Thursday at 10 AM, Gilbert’s rallying cry echoes: don’t let politics override people’s needs. The decision could reshape how Edinburgh connects—and who gets left behind. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
