Angry Edinburgh locals gather to oppose 'discriminatory' traffic changes

Scores of locals gathered to protest against trial changes to traffic in their Edinburgh neighbourhood on Tuesday night.

The introduction of Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) measures in Corstorphine, including bollards and planters blocking off roads, have angered some. Residents have suggested businesses could see less trade, while locals with disabilities have been left "trapped in their homes'".

Peter Roberts, a Corstorphine resident, was one of the organisers of the meeting which saw various people speak on why they felt the changes won't work for the neighbourhood. Councillor Scott Arthur says concerns expressed by residents have been "listened to", and asked locals to "keep in mind that the changes are simply a trial".
