@paulsweeney.bsky.social #ScotGov has some answering to do about licencing of vape shops re yesterday's fire on Union Street. The licencing is all about who can buy vapes & NOTHING about fire safety. Also I cannot find that shop on the register.

It seems to have started in a small vape shop on Union Street. #ScotGov has some answering to do as vape shops have to be licenced. I think the licencing should require mega fire precautions and training for all staff.
My bet is that the staff had none.

Time to sack this management team. They're more incompetent, dishonest & venal than the last one. Why won't #ScotGov act? Are they so worried about voter reaction they won't intervene to help salvage the uni's future or do they remember the #STUC naming Dundee University a Rogue Employer in 2023?

Draft Climate Change Plan
Overview

This draft Climate Change Plan includes the policies and proposals that Scotland needs to end our contribution to increasing global emissions and deliver real benefits for people across Scotland – warmer homes, better air quality, and the health benefits of active travel – to support people in our communities to live longer, healthier, more fulfilling lives. 

We invite you to share your views on the Plan by responding to this consultation. You’re welcome to contribute as an individual or on behalf of an organisation. Feel free to answer as many or as few questions as you wish – every response will be considered by the Scottish Government.

Governments cannot tackle climate change alone. All of us – individuals, communities and businesses across our society – have a role in realising this shared ambition.

Fighting climate change is also a global effort. While Scotland's response is only one small piece of the puzzle, we can demonstrate to a global audience how emissions reduction and environmental benefits can go hand in hand with economic opportunities, national resilience, job creation fairness, and the advancement of fundamental human rights. 

The Scottish Government is determined to deliver a fair transition to net zero, and we are guaranteed to have more success working collaboratively as part of a national endeavour.  

Read the consultation paper - Draft Climate Change Plan. The consultation paper contains full background information for this consultation. You may find it useful to read or refer to while responding.
