Edinburgh tanning salon 'forced to close' as customers put off by roadworks

An Edinburgh tanning salon says it's being forced to move to new premises after the construction of a major city centre cycle route resulted in a huge drop in sales.

Bali Tan announced in a social media post that roadworks along Roseburn Terrace for the new City Centre West East Link (CCWEL), expected to continue into next year, have led owners to decide to cease trading at the salon from the beginning of next month.

Furthermore, House of Hounds, a pet supply store operating on the street, indicated it "might follow soon", whilst Delta Indian Takeaway, another trader impacted by the project, called the situation "dire" and said it "badly needs financial support".
