Edinburgh shop owners fear going bust after more than a year of roadworks

Local businesses in Roseburn are hoping for an announcement of economic support from Thursday’s Edinburgh City Council finance and resource committee.

They say that the council's City Centre West to East Link (CCWEL) has cost several business owners as much as 70 percent of their footfall since the roadworks were introduced. Not only this but that shops along Roseburn Terrace have also had to deal with disruption for what will be a 14-month period.

The owner of Art Et Facts, George Randall, has been operating on the street for over 33 years and says that the works for the CCWEL have caused the worst economic pain that he has witnessed during his decades-long career.
