Edinburgh Leith getting 'low traffic neighbourhood' with cars banned and bus stops removed

A multi-million pound project aiming to make Leith's streets safer and less congested has been given the go-ahead.

The Leith Connections scheme will create a Low Traffic Neighbourhood (LTN) and new active travel links to "transform the quality of walking, wheeling and cycling" in the area.

It involves introducing traffic restrictions on some roads whilst 'de-cluttering' pavements by removing some bus stops, bins and bollards to increase walking space.
