Charity concert, South Leith Parish Church

from the Rotary Club of Leith

The Rotary Club of Leith is holding a charity concert on Thursday evening 17 November at 7pm in South Leith Parish Church near the foot of Leith Walk.  

We are delighted that the concert will showcase the musical talents of the high school pupils for the first time from both Leith and Trinity Academies and that it will be in aid of Kids Operating Room (KidsOR).  The musicians have a tight schedule of exams and school performances and we appreciate their and their teachers’ commitment to the concert.

The small Scottish charity, KidsOR, gives access to attractive paediatric surgeries for life saving operations on children in Africa and South America and ensures there are trained staff to run them. During the concert there will be a short presentation about KidsOR.

Instead of tickets we welcome donations on entry with refreshments being available during the interval.

We do appreciate that this is a short timescale and have tried to keep this application process as straightforward as possible and the turnaround time short so that activities can commence from November onwards.

Northbound road closure: impact on Leith Walk traffic from 2 October for 3 weeks

Antigua Street – Annandale Street north-bound road closure

On the 2 October 2022 there will be changes to the traffic management arrangements on the north-bound section of Leith Walk between Antigua Street and Annandale Street to allow final surfacing works to be undertaken .

This will involve a full north-bound road closure for approximately three weeks from the Picardy Place turnback to Annandale Street. Please note the Picardy Place turnback will remain operational throughout the duration of these works.

Buses will be using the Picardy turn back. Bus stops on York Place will still be in use and they will be using East London Street and Annandale Street to get back onto Leith Walk.

There will be diversion signage installed in the local area to inform road users of the recommended route. The main diversion route for north-bound cyclists will be Dublin Street, Abercromby Place, Albany Street, Broughton Street and East London Street while traffic will be diverted via Dundas Street, Brandon Terrace, Canonmills, Broughton Road and Bonnington Road. Traffic will also be able to access Broughton Street via York Place and the Picardy Place turnback but this will only be signed in the local vicinity in order to encourage traffic to use the above diversion. Details of Lothian Buses diversions will be listed on their website.
