social media and online advertising
lamppost wraps and signs on key approaches
banners on works site barriers
advertising and editorial in community magazines and newspapers
pavement stencils
promotional videos
promoting business events and initiatives.
Supporting businesses and residents through construction
The construction programme will be completed in three sections. You can find more information about locations and dates on our construction page.
Ahead of construction starting we will hold Business and Community Forum meetings and will continue to work with the whole community throughout construction, taking your views into account. Forums have already taken place for section one and two.
Unfortunately, some disruption and noise is inevitable, but we will work with you to reduce impact as much as possible. We have plans to keep this to a minimum, and we are co-ordinating our work with other ongoing and scheduled works in your area.
Safety is our priority
During construction, traffic management measures will be installed and maintained to make sure the works can be carried out safely for everyone, including residents, businesses and our workforce.
Parking and loading
Some parking and loading bays will be suspended to allow for traffic management and safe access to the site. Temporary loading/unloading areas will be set up for deliveries. Exact dates and information about parking restrictions will be displayed on yellow signs before work begins.
Loading in Roseburn has been installed on Roseburn Gardens, Roseburn Street, Murrayfield Place and Wester Coates Terrace. Trollies will be available to help with deliveries.
Access
We want to make sure that access to your business or property is maintained and will work with you throughout construction.
Disabled access during works can be challenging, but if you would like to discuss specific requirements with Balfour Beatty they will be happy to assist. For example, if you know you have an appointment with someone who may need special assistance, we will do everything we can to support this.
