Minutes of the Leith Harbour and Newhaven Community Council ordinary meeting, held at Heart of Newhaven, on Tuesday 26 March 2024 at 6:30pm

The meeting was preceded by a presentation by Cllr Cammy Day, Leader of Edinburgh Council, on the ‘Regeneration of North Edinburgh’.
Deputation on ‘Edinburgh Tram York Place to Newhaven Project Delivery’ by Community Councils Together on Trams
Edinburgh Council’s Transport and Environment Committee will consider this report on the Trams to Newhaven project on Thursday 25 April.
To repeat a mantra, NTBCC and the other community councils in Community Councils Together on Trams believe that the project is not yet finished. The report itself notes that 69 ‘defects’ (i.e. items that are not to plan or specification) of 872 remain open.
Simply put, the report does not properly address the many concerns that NTBCC and CCTT have raised regarding the completion of the outstanding public realm work associated with the Trams Project nor provide any meaningful information about the resolution of the identified defects.
Hence CCTT is submitting the following written deputation, while New Town & Broughton Community Council will submit a verbal deputation, to TEC on Thursday.
Here is the PDF of CCTT’s deputation. (The text and images are also below the ‘read-more’ cut.)
