Description

Edinburgh councillors narrowly voted to scrap a controversial proposal that would’ve required permits for political protests and begging, fearing it could chill spontaneous civic expression. Amid heated debate, officials acknowledged the wording was problematic and clarified the council has no power to approve demonstrations. With nine to two in favor of amendments, the city preserves its tradition of free assembly while still aiming to manage public spaces responsibly.
