Hopefully this is either fixed (resecured) asap or removed.

Slightly disappointed to see the proposal for the Picture Framer shop / workshop on Antigua Street (which is closing) to become another restaurant there (making 8 from 9 on that stretch being Class 3 use).

Aftermath of the Spiegeltent installation and associated concessions in St Andrew Square Garden. Hopefully there's sufficient time / weather for this to recover before the Winter festival begins.

We will be resurfacing Leopold Place from Mon 22 September for two weeks. The work will be done nightly from 7pm to 6am and the road will be fully closed during this time, and diversions will be in place. This is part of our ongoing roads maintenance programme.

HT to @blackrock_UK. Good to see organisations with local offices helping out to improve their neighbourhoods - much appreciated.

Not for the first time it seems.....

A significant & important part of New Town & Broughton CC's area sits within the eligible zone - but PLEASE NOTE the short deadline for applications. (Thanks to @thespurtle for highlighting).

The latest on the temporary toilets installed on Calton Hill - most would assess this as 'not going well' - perhaps time to go back to the drawing board ? bsky.app/profile/calton…

Situation a few days ago.

Former RBS site redevelopment : the application proposing a change of use for the BTR blocks to PBSA now has 70 new documents added & as far as we're aware, has now reopened for comments until 24 November. citydev-portal.edinburgh.gov.uk/idoxpa-web/app…

For information : seems very short notice & far from ideal for this heavily used path. More details from the newsletter on the CCG website.

For over a century, the Cockburn Association has engaged with Edinburgh’s many tram proposals, advocating a balance between transport and townscape. Our latest response calls for design quality, heritage sensitivity and real civic vision. tinyurl.com/4rp6j9x3

Cyclehoop hanger installation on East Claremont Street in pro.

Christmas festive lighting - an aesthetic & sympathetic example on George Street vs. how not to do it on Frederick Street..... (The right hand image doesn't fully capture the unacceptable glare from these poorly directed internal floodlights).

The Council's Enforcement dept have responded to my request for targeted bollards & greater loading provision for businesses on Leith Walk below. Re final para: it's been suggested that an on-site walk down the Walk is held with councillors, Leith Central Community Council, & New Town & Broughton CC next year.

Final agenda for the NTBCC meeting on Monday 8 December now available (ONLINE by Zoom) - 7:00pm start. Link to access in the attached Agenda. ntbcc.org.uk/ntbcc-full-age… Topics to be covered too numerous to mention - everyone welcome.

Joint statement by New Town & Broughton CC, Access Panel and LSEG on our objections to Rose St cycle plans here: bit.ly/4rYrCHc The report doesn't address serious concern at impacts on pedestrians (especially disabled). We hope councillors will reject its recommendations on Rose Street.
