    Statement

    It has been an honour to serve as Councillor for Sighthill/Gorgie. I am re-standing as I have a good record of fighting for green values here and across the city:

    • Protecting Gorgie farm aainst privatisation, leading the Council campaign for public toilets in Dalry/Gorgie, and supporting local people, including the evicted WASPS artists in Dalry and the Dalry Colony residents suffering noisy construction

    • Delivering £575k for cultural groups, recouping almost £400k from large events at Murrayfield and getting more Participatory Budget funding for deprived areas.

    • Protecting animal welfare and air quality by introducing Scotland’s first Firework Control Zones

    • Securing a commitment to free, climate-conscious school uniforms

    • Strengthening climate monitoring of the festivals

    • Blocking protest licencing that may have been disastrous for those using their right to protest

    • Standing up the sacked Rockstar workers, people facing immigration raids, and others needing our support

    Having delivered record Green votes here and in the SW UK Parliament constituency, I have proved I can win, and then get things done when elected. https://dannheap.wixsite.com/dangreen.

    Unprecedentedly, we have 2 SG Cllrs but 1 candidacy, so I am applying for other wards I have a connection to: Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart (local resident, 2024 GE candidate); Pentland Hills (GE candidate), Forth (work on poverty) and City Centre (work on cultural issues). For transparency, I note I am applying as a disabled person.

    Which ward(s) would you like to stand for?

    1st preference:
    Sighthill/Gorgie
    2nd preference:
    Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart
    3rd preference:
    Forth
    4th preference:
