Letters: Let’s Guarantee no repeat of history for young people
THE Evening News is to be congratulated for giving such prominence to the blight of unemployment among young people (May 23). We have been here before.

Letters: Lower the kerbs and raise mobility for scooter users
Having been recently reduced to getting out and about Edinburgh via an electric powered mobility scooter (through bad health and old age), I see the world in an entirely different light.

Lothians in Pictures: Salisbury Crags
Gerry Parker climbed up Salisbury Crags to take this picture of the city skyline resplendent in the sunshine
Letters: Who is driving force behind traffic regulation changes?
It would appear that the council is reviewing the situation regarding bus lanes (News, May 17). Surely it would have been easier than printing and posting out fines for the photographs to be viewed by someone in authority to decide if crossing the corner of a bus lane to enter a side street warranted a fine?
8 commentsLetters: Disruptive gas works must be carried out overnight
I am worried by the article “Gas works spark traffic alert” (News, May 16). It would appear that major gas works are to be carried out on sections of Queensferry Road and some of the side streets leading from it in the very near future.

Letters: An expensive new transport project . . sound familiar?
Edinburgh MP Mark Lazarowicz proves it is not just our councillors who have learnt nothing from the trams fiasco, when he voices support for the HS2 rail project (News, May 14).

Letters: Mend fences to prevent barrier grief at tram works
How much more trams mismanagement and incompetence must the residents and business owners of this city tolerate?

You can only catch a bus if you know where to find it
NEVER mind the disruption caused by tramworks in central Edinburgh, I would settle for knowing where and when to go for a bus.
Letters: If you’re not going to train, you shouldn’t use the lane
I refer to the article “Cab driver caught on bus lanes 30 times” (News, May 10). He must be some kind of protester to be caught so many times.
Letters: Time to put the brakes on restrictions at Greenways
HAVING read the article by Neil Greig of the Institute of Advanced Motorists (“Move it up a gear”, News, May 8) I could not agree more with his comments.
Letters: Lib Dem/SNP stewardship something to be proud of
Donald Anderson (Letters, May 8) gets it very wrong in his attempt to mock the seriousness of the financial inheritance left to the incoming administration in May 2007.
Letters: Longer amber would give drivers some light relief
I have concerns regarding the article “Know the rules or pay a fine say police” (News, May 7). I would like someone from the police to explain exactly how the red boxes at junctions are supposed to be treated.

Letters: Ludicrous to suggest Capital has reserves of just £370,000
I have no wish to add to the difficulties faced by Jenny Dawe after the elections on Thursday, but her statements about inheriting council reserves of only £370,000 in 2007 are simply untrue.

Letters: Bus firm should get on board with all of Lothians’ needs
The council-owned bus firm has agreed to run a new service to replace the bus routes being withdrawn in East Lothian and Midlothian (Bus firm steps in to offer villages lifeline, News, May 2). Well, good for it.
3 commentsLetters: There are cyclists and then there are people on bikes
I do wish that cyclists would live by their own safety code. From what I have observed over many years it all seems to apply to their safety and not to other road, or indeed, footpath users.

Letters: School in park will be great environment for learning
Opponents of the new high school on the park in Portobello could do with getting some of their facts straight.
5 commentsLetters: Election winners must act quickly over school dispute
I AM concerned about the massive cost the legal action to prevent the building of a new high school on Portobello Park will have on all parties.

Letters: Have we got the bottle to tackle our booze problem?
I have concerns regarding the front-page article “Supermarket health ban on booze” (News, April 30).

Letters: Waterfront and docks area needs a new Leith of life
I cannot understand the tunnel vision approach developers seem to have for Leith. Surely businesses dependent on attracting people to the area would gain from marketing the area as a tourist attraction and put some finance into the restoration of historical buildings that are empty and deteriorating.

Letters: Pensioners have earned right to free bus passes
IT is with dismay and anger that I reply to Arthur Homan-Elsy’s letter about pensioners’ bus passes (News, April 24).
