Delighted @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social has finally agreed a visitor levy, but such a lost opportunity not to set it at a more ambitious level and to cave in to corporate interests to delay implementation. Lab/LibDem/Con proposal was too weak & timid.

I was shocked other parties didn't share my concerns about calls to weaken homelessness regulations when voting down my motion last week. I'm pleased this is being picked up by campaigners, and I hope Labour, Lib Dem and Conservative Cllrs reflect on why many of us are so worried about this
