The community council believes the issues which they raised previously have not been properly addressed in the report before the committee and ask for it to reconsider what it might make permanent.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theedinburghreporter.co.uk\/2025\/05\/councils-traffic-regulation-orders-sub-committee-meets-on-monday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read more here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This week at Edinburgh Council<\/p>\n<p>Monday, 12th May, 2025<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk\/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=645&amp;MId=7748\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>10.00 am\u00a0<\/strong>Traffic Regulation Orders Sub-Committee<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Dean of Guild Court Room \u2013 City Chambers<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/democracy.edinburgh.gov.uk\/ieListDocuments.aspx?CId=135&amp;MId=7747\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>2.00 pm\u00a0<\/strong>Special Meeting, Policy and Sustainability Committee<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 Dean of Guild Court Room \u2013 City Chambers. <\/li>\n<li>At this meeting the fallout from the Edinburgh Integration Joint Board (EIJB) decision to cut payments to 64 third parties continues. At Monday\u2019s meeting the council sets out how it will provide funding of \u00a32.026 million to 45 organisations, saying \u201cThis allocation represents 69% of the total value of EIJB grant funding provided to these organisations during 2024\/25, or 93% of the total EIJB grant funding removed for the period June 2025 to March 2026. The report also states that the hope is this funding \u201cwill help prevent closure of a number of third sector organisations in Edinburgh, prevent redundancies of key staff, help organisations avoid having to make unsustainable use of reserves to cover core running costs, prevent organisations having to scale back non-EIJB funded service delivery in order to cover core costs, and maintain critical money advice services that deliver \u00a311m of financial benefits to low income Edinburgh citizens every year\u201d.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tuesday, 13th May, 2025<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, 14th May, 2025<\/p>\n<p>Thursday, 15th May, 2025<\/p>\n<p>Friday, 16th May, 2025<\/p>\n<p>Edinburgh Tartan Parade 2025<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"696\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/20250510-DSC0658020250510.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-596694\"  \/>L-R Gail Porter who hosted the after party at the Usher Hall with Grand Marshal, Kyle Dawson President of National Tartan Day New York Committee, and the Rt Hon Lord Provost Robert Aldridge<\/p>\n<p>Our social media is full of tartan, colour and the sound of bagpipes.
