On the 10th May Living Rent Leith are holding a Town Hall meeting for the local community to engage with decision makers regarding the Dalton Scrapyard development.

Too many luxury developments are being approved in Leith and locals are being priced out!

Big thanks to RNIB Scotland, Sight Scotland & Alan (& Gemma) from @LeithCentralCC for engaging consistently re Leith Walk & Elm Row accessibility.

This is a good news story: an The City of Edinburgh Council manager told us last week that the pavement parking ban was 'the best thing that's ever happened to footway maintenance' for the city🙂

Key quote (from Cllr Scott Arthur 🌍🌈🌹)?

“In most places, we can only do two things well, and in the vast majority of these streets one of them will be walking. Then it becomes a question of what the second one is”

Several important (if not necessarily exciting!) reports to TEC this week, including:
footway maintenance
local improvements funding
tram update.

Disappointing to see nothing about speed/red light cameras in the Road Safety report.
