A local campaigner who is looking to save the Leith Pride Bridge has condemned the latest move by Edinburgh City Council to block the bridge with concrete structures.
Róisín Thérèse, was disappointed in the move and says that it seems to be an escalation by the local authority. She added that the council should be looking at more permanent solutions rather than wasting money on temporary fixes.
The bridge was condemned by the council at the tail end of 2021 as officials deemed the structure unsafe. But Róisín, who started a petition to save the bridge earlier this year, says that there are cost effective ways of repairing the structure that would still be cheaper than the demolition job.
