By Councillor Parker - Supporting Community Climate Action

By Councillor Parker - Supporting Community Climate Action

“Council:

1)         Notes that becoming a net zero city by 2030 is a core priority of the Council’s business plan and that “engaging and empowering citizens to help tackle climate change” is a key focus of the Council’s 2030 Climate Strategy which underpins delivery of this priority.

2)         Welcomes the work of EVOC (Edinburgh Voluntary Organisations’ Council) and SCCAN (Scottish Communities Climate Action Network) to develop proposals for a Community Climate Hub where groups can co-ordinate and share resources around climate action, building on the success of the Community Climate Forum which is already supported by the Council.

3)         Notes that overwhelming feedback from community groups through the Community Climate Forum highlights the need for a physical space where groups can meet and co-ordinate activity, and that a central Community Climate Hub could serve this function.

4)         Welcomes that the Scottish Government has made £4.3m available for community groups, charities and social enterprises to apply for up to £250k to set up and lead Climate Action Hubs in local authorities across Scotland.

Further, Council agrees that:

5)         In principle, creation of a Community Climate Hub would be positive for the city and help the Council to deliver its Climate Strategy by creating space for residents to meaningfully engage on issues relating to climate and sustainability, and that this could be a valuable resource for the Council too.

6)         Given its role in developing the 2030 Climate Strategy and through its leadership and influence on climate action in the city already, the Council should be engaged with any Community Climate Hub that is created to ensure a joined-up approach as part of delivery of the 2030 Climate Strategy.

Therefore, requests that:

7)         Officers explore how the Council could support EVOC / SCCAN and community groups with “in-kind” support throughout the bid writing process to secure funding for the development of a Community Climate Hub.

8)         Officers also explore through its estates teams if there are any central spaces which could be leased by the Community Climate Hub if it is successful in securing funding, as part of its commitment to delivering a net zero city by 2030

9)         Officers report back on actions 7) and 8) at the next Climate and Sustainability APOG.”

By Councillor Parker - Student Homelessness Crisis

By Councillor Parker - Student Homelessness Crisis

“Committee:

1)         Notes with concern reports from the student group ‘Slurp: students for Action on Homelessness’ that, last year:

·       20.8% of second to fifth year undergraduates did not have their name on a tenancy agreement at the start of teaching in Semester 1

·       8.7% of second to fifth year undergraduates did not have their name on a tenancy agreement by Week 5 of teaching in Semester 1

·       78.6% of undergraduates are worried about where they will live next year

2)         Notes that whilst the university has reported taking some steps to address this such as through its “Accommodation Guarantee” and making some temporary accommodation available within its estate for students experiencing homelessness, the student community reports that this response is inadequate for the scale of the problem.

3)         Recognises that this is a crisis, and a joined-up response from the Council and University will be important to address it, and that this might include thinking about more creative solutions, such as supporting the creation of more student housing co-operatives to address needs.

Therefore, requests:

4)         The Convener of the Housing, Homelessness and Fair Work Committee organises a clerked meeting in advance of Semester 1 of the 2023/2024 academic year with representatives from the University, Slurp campaign, student housing co-operative, each political group, Council officers and any other relevant, interested parties to discuss the crisis.

5)         In advance of the meeting, officers prepare a short briefing note for attendees at the meeting outlining how the Council and University of Edinburgh currently work together to tackle issues relating to student housing and homelessness.”

By Councillor McKenzie - Haymarket Square Construction

By Councillor McKenzie - Haymarket Square Construction

“Council:

Notes that:

1)         Construction work at Haymarket Square began in March 2020 and is expected to continue until the end of 2025. Prior to this work, there had been two years of work to strengthen the railway tunnels. 

2)         This construction has caused noise pollution with knock-on mental health impacts, and in some cases, loss of earnings for local residents.

3)         The building which is currently under construction will sit adjacent to the Dalry Colonies and will be leased to the Council for 25 years for the ‘Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) hotel and hotel school project’.

4)         The final business case for this project states “the Council’s involvement is driving betterment of what would otherwise happen”.

Recognises that:

5)         The Council allows construction work to take place from 7am until 7pm, Monday to Saturday.

6)         This policy has never been updated post-covid to consider the impact of construction noise on residents, with increased impact on people who are working from home, working nights or with caring responsibilities.

7)         An assessment of the impact of noise on local residents has not been conducted since construction began.

8)         The development of a positive, supportive relationship between the hotel and the residents of the Dalry Colonies will be important for the success of the project.

Requests that:

9)         Elected members who sit on the EICC Board should convene a meeting between representatives of Sir Robert McAlpine, Dalry Colonies Residents Association and QMile.

10)       This meeting should take place within 2 weeks and should consider the following requests from neighbouring residents:

a)         Construction work should not begin before 9am on weekends. Site access – including the moving of vehicles – should not be permitted before 9am

b)         Site management should review the need for frequent use of horns, sirens and other loud site noise with workers requested to be considerate of the neighbours.

c)         Confirmation that post-construction surveys will take place to assess potential damage to neighbouring properties as a result of the development.”

By Councillor O'Neill - Fuel Poverty Assistance

By Councillor O’Neill – Fuel Poverty Assistance

Council:

1)         Notes with regret that fuel poverty will remain a pertinent issue for many across the city due to inflation and the global energy crisis; and certain groups are at higher risk of extreme poverty – older adults, those on low income and disabled people for example.

2)         Further notes the UK Government provided £400 off energy bills to eligible households in England, Scotland, and Wales from October 2022 – March 2023 to help households through winter.

3)         Expresses concern that the levels of unclaimed support are extremely high across Scotland; according to Ofgem, 34% of eligible households in Edinburgh have not redeemed vouchers which equates to £1,374,120.

Therefore requests:

4)         That by the end of day on Friday 23rd June, the Council Leader writes to local advice and support services across the city to ensure as many people as possible are aware of the support they could access before the deadline.

5)         Council uses its communication channels to make constituents aware of the  deadline of vouchers expiring on 30th June 2023 and the following key facts from Energy Action Scotland;

a)         The vouchers issued under the scheme are valid for 90 days, expired vouchers can be re-issued through the energy supplier, but all vouchers expire on 30th June when the scheme ends.

b)         If a household is ‘storing’ their vouchers to redeem later, they must be aware that most pre-payment meters can only hold up to around £250 of energy credit at a time.

c)         If a household didn’t receive, has lost their voucher or had it expire, then they must ask their supplier for a new one to be reissued.

d)         All eligible pre-payment meter households should have received all six of their vouchers by now. These will have been sent from their energy supplier by post, email or text message.

e)         If the voucher was initially sent by post, people can ask their supplier to send it by email or text message instead.

By Councillor Whyte - Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) Anomalies – N6 Abbeyhill

By Councillor Whyte - Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ) Anomalies – N6 Abbeyhill

“1)        Council notes that the N6 Abbeyhill CPZ is listed to have “implementation starting 12 June 2023” on the Council website and that a “go live” date is likely to be approximately two months later.

2)         Council expresses concern that streets that were under development and were still “potentially adoptable” at the time of the initial design and legal process to implement the CPZ remain out with the controls and that work by Council officers to bring these within the CPZ is still in progress with a further legal process still to be undertaken.

3)         Council recognises that this will create an uncontrolled island area within the CPZ and that residents in those streets will likely be plagued with overspill parking and commuter parking that previously used the surrounding areas.  Further, should these streets be full any resident returning home to park for a period that includes controlled hours would be unable to do so and would have to find a space outside the zone – a minimum of 800m and a ten-minute walk from their home.

4)         Council agrees that a report should be provided to the August Transport and Environment Committee updating the status of the process to include affected streets within the zone N6 controls.

5)         Council further agrees that the report should explore the possibility of allowing residents in these streets access to an N6 permit prior to that legal process to allow them to park nearer to home while the anomaly is resolved and in line with the policy aims of the CPZ to prioritise resident parking over commuters.”

By Councillor Dalgleish - Energy Efficiency in Homes - Introduction of Long-term Domestic Standards

By Councillor Dalgleish - Energy Efficiency in Homes - Introduction of Long-term Domestic Standards

“Council:

1)         Understands that the Scottish Government will set long-term domestic standards by introducing regulations requiring all residential properties in Scotland to achieve an Energy Performance Certificate rating of at least equivalent to EPC C by 2033, where technically and legally feasible and cost-effective.

2)         Notes the findings of the Heat in buildings strategy (October 2021) which sets out plans for how the Scottish Government proposes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from Scotland’s buildings, via introduction of regulations by 2025 setting energy efficiency standards across all housing tenures.

3)         Notes that during a time of economic uncertainty and a cost-of-living crisis, many Edinburgh residents will have little to no disposable income to invest in upgrading their homes to the standards set out in the Heat in budlings strategy regulations over the short to medium term.

4)         Understands the unique nature of Edinburgh as a city with a strong historic fabric, reflected by the presence of 50 Conservation Areas and over 4,000 Listed Buildings, and the significant number of residential properties located within the designated conservation areas and directly and indirectly designated as listed buildings.

5)         Acknowledges that a wide range of physical alterations and adaptions to residential homes in these cases are subject to regulation including the need for planning permission and listed building consent which will likely be required as part of efforts to achieve greater energy efficiency.

6)         Acknowledges the ongoing work associated with the Motion by Councillor Osler on Conservation and Adaption, including the completion of the recent consultation which sought views on the additional challenge those living within conservation areas face, when trying to adapt homes to make them more sustainable to improve energy efficiency and notes that the findings of this and the associated working group will be reported to Planning Committee.

Finally, Council requests

7)         That the Council Leader write to Minister for Housing requesting a meeting to discuss the challenges in residential properties within conservation areas and those which are listed buildings, face when looking to adapt and alter homes to achieve an Energy Performance Certificate rating of at least equivalent to EPC C, and to request further clarification on whether the adaptions required in the context of being technically feasible, legally feasible and cost-effective apply as exemptions to the regulations.

8)         Furthermore, the Council Leader should discuss with the Minister the possibility of additional funds being allocated to the City of Edinburgh Council to assist with any potential consequences of the regulations found in the Heat in buildings strategy report.”

10) The outcome of these discussions be circulated to the Housing, Homelessness and fair work Committee, and the Planning Committee via an addition to the Business Bulletin.

By Councillor Faccenda - Toilet Provision

“Council:

Recognises the importance of safe accessible toilets across the city and that the lack of such facilities is a serious impediment to many, especially women, older people and those with certain health conditions to be able to go out, shop and enjoy green spaces.

Furthermore, notes that the toilets at Taylor Gardens in Leith have been closed since lockdown and still show as under repair on the council website.

Council asks for an update to the Transport and Environment Committee on the necessary work required and related costs to reopen the Taylor Garden toilets and what security measures and any staffing that will be required.”

“1)        Notes that Policy HOU 6 of the CityPlan 2030 states that “Planning permission will be granted for purpose-built student accommodation where: d) there will be no adverse impact on the established character of the area”.

2)         Notes that there have been instances at the Development Management Sub-Committee where questioning of Planning Officers has highlighted challenges in determining the established character of an area.

3)         Requests that a report be prepared and presented to the Planning Committee within 2 cycles which outlines a strategy for authoritatively determining the established character of communities across Edinburgh with associated potential timescales.”

By Councillor Macinnes - Abortion Rights

By Councillor Macinnes - Abortion Rights

“Council:

notes with dismay the recent 28 month prison sentence imposed on a woman who, during the very difficult circumstances of Covid lockdown, choose to exercise her right to an abortion but who was not aware of how advanced her pregnancy was.

Does not consider that a prison sentence is appropriate in these circumstances and calls for a change in attitude and if required legislation to prevent this occurring.

Regrets the excessive punishment, particularly when viewed in comparison to other sentencing guidelines and practice in other fields.

Welcomes those efforts, such as ‘Abortion should not be a crime’, an event hosted by BPAS, Women’s Equality Party and the Fawcett Society, to shine a light on these issues, to highlight the disparity in the treatment of women in the judicial system, particularly in relation to reproductive rights.

Requests that the Council Leader, in consultation with Group Leaders on content, writes to appropriate Ministers in the UK government, expressing our concern and requesting feedback on how such a situation could be avoided in future. Further requests an additional letter to appropriate Scottish Ministers seeking assurance that Scottish Courts would as things stand not come to the same conclusion and any action the Government plans to further ensure this is the case.”

By Councillor Gardiner - Short Term Lets

“1)        Council notes the outcome of the Court of Session decision on Edinburgh’s Short Term Let policy being “unlawful” and acknowledges the need to respond swiftly to ensure the new policy is legally sound and enforceable.

2)         Council therefore agrees to receive a report to the Planning and Regulatory Committees within once cycle: to examine the impact of the judgement, to identify any actions required to make the policy legally competent and to set a timeline for when changes can be made to ensure the policy is enforceable. This should also contain information on the legal advice sought prior to implementation.”

By Councillor Mumford - Dignity and Support for Asylum Seekers

By Councillor Mumford - Dignity and Support for Asylum Seekers

“Council

Notes:

1)         that the use of HMS Victoria to house people arriving in Edinburgh from Ukraine was agreed with the Scottish Government only under specific circumstances which included consultation with the Ukrainian Community, agreement of support packages, and in the context of national schemes to support people displaced by the invasion of Ukraine;

2)         that this arrangement is due to end on July 11th 2023 and following extensive work from Council staff and with support from the Scottish Government, Ukrainian families are now moving into more suitable accommodation which can better meet their needs;

3)         That the Convener of HHFW Convener has been instructed to write to the relevant ministers in Scottish and UK Governments setting out the housing needs of all refugee communities in the city and requesting details from both governments of their long-term plan to support the Council to address this;

4)         That last month the Council reaffirmed its commitment to be a city which welcomes refugees, migrants, asylum seekers and all those seeking sanctuary.

Further notes

5)         the UK Government’s continuation of the ‘hostile environment’ for refugees, asylum seekers and migrants which now includes proposals to place them in highly unsuitable floating accommodation, with the Prime Minister pledging to use “as many barges as it takes”;

6)         that this approach includes utilising the ‘Bibby Stockholm’, an engineless barge in Falmouth which is intended to “house” 500 people, each given a living area smaller than a parking space;

7)         that there is no indication of plans being put in place to support the wellbeing of people placed on this barge, or to provide additional funding or support to the local authority or public and third sector organisations for this;

8)         That Wirral Council were approached about a similar scheme and refused to support this proposal, with the leader of the council saying “The idea that as many as 2,000 asylum seekers, people fleeing persecution and torture, would be marooned on barges, effectively prison ships, is immoral and inhumane.”

9)         Condemns the UK Government’s hostile environment and their plans for unsuitable floating accommodation without due regard for human rights and the wellbeing of people seeking support;

10)       Opposes any potential moves by the UK Government to dock boats to house refugees, asylum seekers and migrants in Edinburgh unless the UK Government will commit to:

a)         Ensuring adequate standards of living, access to services including health checks and medical care and civic freedoms;

b)         Early and ongoing conversations with Edinburgh Council, the Scottish Government, Education Scotland, the NHS and other potential service providers including the third sector;

c)         Ending the national policy of No Recourse to Public Funds, which prevents Edinburgh Council from offering support to people needing help; and

11)       Instructs the Council Leader and Chief Executive to communicate this position should the UK Government approach Edinburgh Council about utilising floating accommodation to accommodate people in the city.”
