Spaces for People in Edinburgh
A ‘no through road’ proposal was put forward by CEC for the High St in July 2020. This was discussed as it was unpopular and QDCC did not support the proposal. A rethink resulted in a one way proposal from west to east which has now been approved by CEC and was implemented w/c 8th March 2021.
