Work is set to get underway on the transformation of George Street, with certain blocks being inaccessible to traffic over the coming weeks.
The First New Town project will see George Street pedestrianised and only accessible to vehicles such as taxis, delivery and service vehicles, and Blue Badge holders during certain periods. Buses will also be removed from the thoroughfare.
Edinburgh Council says that from March to June last year they engaged with community groups and residents to better understand the needs of those in the area. They say the transformation will improve 'accessibility, active travel and traffic access'.
