Leith low-traffic neighbourhood consultations (CEC’s actual consultation)
Hot on the heels of the last post, CEC is running a consultation as well as AECOM. LHNCC’s web-weaver guesses (but cannot promise) that Edinburgh Council will be more interested in responses to its own consultation.
Follow this link (https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/low-traffic-neighbourhoods/) to access CEC’s Leith LTN consultation.
There are also workshops – register via Eventbrite as follows.
- Leith workshop option 1 (23rd June) – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/158131053237
- Leith workshop option 2 (1st July) – https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/158132473485
Leith low-traffic neighbourhood consultation
Message from LHNCC’s secretary
The Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) Team (Leith Connections) announced that Leith LTN consultation/survey will go live on the Hub on Friday 4th July.
The Team will be running 2 public meetings for Leith LTN – one in week beginning 14th June and one in week beginning 28th June – details to be confirmed so not included in information leaflets.
I would recommend reading this and completing survey, especially as it only considers a limited area omitting section North of Commercial Street. This means that leaflets that have been distributed may not have included a large section of our CC.

Tram-work near Victoria Dock and Ocean Drive
Trams to Newhaven advises
Ocean Terminal to Rennie’s Isle
Preparation works are ongoing in the area ahead of the closure of the Victoria Dock Bridge in order to carry out reinforcement and structural works. To accommodate these works there is a requirement to extend the temporary traffic lights east bound. View the updated traffic management plan.
Ocean Drive footpath closure
From Monday 24 May a footpath closure will be implemented with a temporary pedestrian diversion in place. There will be no through route for pedestrians/cyclists accessing the area. A suggested diversion route is via Rennie’s Isle / Commercial Street. Signage will be installed in the local area to inform pedestrians and cyclists. View the diversion plan here.
For full details, view the Trams to Newhaven newsletters.
You can also subscribe, so that TTN newsletters are automatically emailed to you.
