A garage owner in Leith has been left scratching his head after Edinburgh City Council placed permit parking bays in front of the entrance to his business.
Robert Doig, 36, who took over Doig Motor Engineers on Couper Street from his father four years ago, says that council contractors turned up outside of his garage on Tuesday May 9 to paint the permit holder lines slap bang in the middle of the entrance to the building.
The parking bays are part of new road changes in the area that are set to become live next month to "protect residents' parking."
