Call for a public referendum prior to any future spending on Edinburgh Tram 'extension' #TramRef

The City of Edinburgh Council must hold a public referendum, open to all Edinburgh council-tax paying residents, before committing to any 'extension' of the
existing Edinburgh Tram line.

Why is this important?

In a period where the already barely adequate council services are being slashed, council tax and other charges are rising, and the enquiry into the previous Tram fiasco has not yet completed, the City of Edinburgh Council must allow residents to voice their opinions on the proposed £165,000,000 (current estimate) expenditure in extending the Edinburgh Tram line.

How it will be delivered

This petition has now been delivered to Edinburgh's Councillors via email, in preparation for their meeting to discuss the future of the tram project this week (week commencing 25th February 2019).

New signatures are still welcome, as it's never too late to admit making a mistake.
