More parking restrictions?
It seems that ‘Phase 2’ – the move to introduce further controlled parking zones in our area that had been paused – because the first consultation showed that local residents were against it and did not agree that there were parking problems in their streets – is now set to be relaunched.
The areas in question are the Bonnington Road and Easter Road areas and – closest to Leith Links – the area inexplicably called ‘West Leith’ which incorporates the area between Lochend Road and Restalrig Road.
The argument is that the recently established controlled parking zones on Leith Walk and in North Leith – plus the ban on pavement parking? – have pushed parking problems into the neighbouring areas and are now causing pressure on nearby streets.
The Council is about to instigate monitoring and consultation with residents. Do keep your eyes open for this and be sure to make your views known.
