Councillor Hal Osler
Inverleith
Hal Osler was first elected as councillor for Inverleith in 2017.
Hal's priorities for Inverleith are:
- A review of community policing so that there is more presence at a local level to address residents' concerns.
- Supporting 20mph speed limits and a reduction of traffic on residential streets to reduce noise and increase safety
- More repairs and upgrades of recycling bins
- Getting roads and pavements fixed properly the first time and ensure that there is proper investment in improving the poor state of road surfaces.
- Reviewing the present parking tariff structure, so that more residents who pay for their parking permits can actually access a parking space while ensuring adequate pay and display provision.

Complaints and concerns about the state and the safety of Queensferry Road are increasing.
Local Lib Dem councillor Hal Osler said, "I have written to the Convenor of the Transport and Environment Committee about the dangerous extent of potholes as well as the safety concerns of residents accessing the Craigleith junction, on account of the impacts of the Travelling Safely (Spaces for People) measures.
"I will keep pushing for improvements to be made so that residents are able to move around safely, no matter what mode of transport they use.
"I would also like to remind residents that there is a consultation out at the moment regarding the extension of the Travelling Safely measures which might become permanent and I would urge residents to respond via this link: https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/roads-pavements/view-comment-traffic-orders-new/4."
