Edinburgh employers should cover the cost of safe transport home for staff working late night shifts, a councillor has said.
A proposal for changes to the city's licensing policies to ensure shift workers can get home safely without facing "financial penalties" will be the focus of a City Chambers debate on Thursday (October 27).
Alys Mumford, councillor for Portobello and Craigmillar, said people in jobs that often entail working into the night are "increasingly worried" about their safety when travelling home.
