Cockburn welcomes the “Tourist Tax” Bill

POSTED ON May 25, 2023 BY Terry Levinthal

As Edinburgh and Scotland continues to re-open its doors to visitors, now is the time to introduce this new tourist tax.  Building a new funding mechanism that channels visitor activity into enhanced visitor management and improvement is positive and very much overdue.

What kind of housing policy for a fairer, greener Scotland?

POSTED ON December 21, 2022 BY James Garry

There is much to applaud in the new NPF4. For the first time, Scottish planning is putting climate and the nature crisis at the heart of the system.  It introduces community wealth building and the circular economy. However, the approach to housing still falls short.
