Evaluation of Edinburgh Residents' Attitudes to the Proposed Road User Charging Scheme
The Scottish Executive Transport and Planning Research Team commissioned IpsosMORI Scotland to conduct a programme of research to understand the underlying reasons for Edinburgh residents' rejection of the City of Edinburgh Council's Preferred Transport Strategy, which included introducing a road charging scheme. The research focuses on a number of issues relating to the public's knowledge of, and attitudes towards, the proposed Edinburgh Road charging scheme (congestion charge), alternative road charging schemes and wider issues of car use such as congestion and pollution. The research comprised two main components, a series of nine focus groups conducted in various locations across Edinburgh and a representative survey of 1,002 Edinburgh residents.

A Little Local Problem — A Review Of The May Local Elections
The 2006 local elections represent a clear and embarrassing defeat for Labour. The party was relegated to third place in terms of the "estimated national equivalent vote share", (the generally accepted measure of the major parties' local election performance), with only 26% of the vote. It made a net loss of more than three hundred seats, and controls 18 fewer councils than it did before the elections. While this was not, as some had predicted beforehand, Labour's worst-ever local election performance — in fact, the 26% share was the same as in 2004 — it was a very poor one.
