Not sure if anyone is interested but thought I’d forward on

Guys, honestly… I normally come on my business page for a bit of light-hearted banter, a laugh and probably a moan about something 😂 But over the last couple of days, the support I’ve had over these proposed 7am–7pm bus lanes, 7 days a week, has genuinely been overwhelming.

And I really need people to understand — I am not fighting this just for myself or for Nikki’s Fleurs.

I’m fighting it for the wee baked potato shop next door to me. A huge part of his business is passing trade — tradesmen pulling up, running in, grabbing their lunch and getting back to work. They are NOT going to park streets away and walk back down for a baked potato. If that passing trade disappears, I genuinely worry whether his wee business could survive.

Then there’s the plumbers beside me. The embroidery shop. The hairdressers. The nail technician. The barbers. Real small businesses, employing real people and trying to make a living.

And that’s before we even start talking about funeral directors, carers, taxis, delivery drivers, tradespeople, elderly and disabled residents, or businesses like mine that physically need vehicles to load and unload.

This is why I’m making so much noise.

And LOOK AT THIS 👇

20 BUSINESS SIGNATURES AND 694 INDIVIDUAL SIGNATURES ALREADY! ❤️

Honestly, Edinburgh, you have absolutely blown me away with the support.

I might just be one grumpy florist making a racket 😂 but there are hundreds of people standing behind me now — and that number is growing.

Please keep signing. Please keep sharing. Please keep talking about it.

Because this isn’t about one flower shop.

It’s about protecting all the wee businesses that make our communities what they are. ❤️
