Harry Willliams @harryjwilliams.bsky.social · 02/08/2026I plan on releasing one new council a day for the month of August. - By the end of the month, every Scottish Council should be live on City Scope with a year backlog! 091
Harry Willliams @harryjwilliams.bsky.social · 09/07/2026I've also fully rebuilt the "Cycle-Scope" page from the ground up. This is hopefully more usable on mobile too 072
Harry Willliams @harryjwilliams.bsky.social · 09/07/2026City-Scope has been redesigned across the board. I've been working away at polishing the existing features and completely overhauling the look and feel of the site. Most features are still the same fundamentally but hopefully feel much more enjoyable to use. East Lothian updates now live too 1138

Harry Willliams @harryjwilliams.bsky.social · 24/06/2026I might be able to get this from my work with the road works commission database, but i'd probably have to assume everything removed from the commission database has been completed and not just removed by the council :D 020

Harry Willliams @harryjwilliams.bsky.social · 13/04/2026The @edinburghminute.com makes clear the extent of the difference between City-Scope & the planning portal.

Harry Willliams @harryjwilliams.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Not really. I guess it’s slightly subjective too. I don’t have a single 10 ranked application but I think that’s probably right. Not sure what would constitute a 10 120
