Phase 2 – Easter Road, Lochend / Ryehill (called “West Leith” on our plans), Bonnington, Willowbrae and the A8 Corridor
An informal consultation process took place in February and March 2021. The results of that consultation were reported to the Transport and Environment committee in August 2021.
Committee decided that monitoring of the potential impacts of phase 1, and further engagement on the design and detail of the phase 2 proposal, should be undertaken before a decision is taken on the future of phase 2.

The legal process is expected to start in the coming months, in conjunction with a review of the designs that were consulted upon. That review will amend the designs where possible to reflect consultation feedback.
The remaining areas of B7, B10, Prestonfield, Newhaven South and Trinity will be monitored in order to assess whether the introduction of parking controls into nearby or neighbouring areas has any impact on parking availability or pressure.
