Working for a greener and fairer Sighthill/Gorgie and Edinburgh

I am the Scottish Green Party Councillor for Sighthill/Gorgie in Edinburgh and I am asking for party member support to be our candidate in next year's Council elections.

Delivering for Sighthill/Gorgie

​

From fighting for the evicted artists of the Dalry art studios, to supporting a better future for Gorgie Farm and a bridge in Longstone, and from helping constituents with housing and other problems, to getting new public toilets, I have always stood up for my constituents.

City-wide work

I have worked hard to make the city a greener and fairer place. Whilst there is more to be done, I am proud of my achievements, such as finding £575,000 and rolling-out Firework Control Zones to protect air and water quality, and animals and vulnerable people, accross the city.

Policy priorities

From ensuring that residents in my ward and accross the city can challenge unfair rents to more growing spaces, and from setting up a Public Diner to improving play facilities, I want to spend the next 5 years, if selected and elected, making Sighthill/Gorgie and the broader city a better place to live, work and study.

Dan's supporters

Dan is supported by a range of local party members, including Cllr Kayleigh Kinross-O'Neill MSP.
