Edinburgh woman says disabled people have been 'ignored' in Leith regeneration

An Edinburgh woman who struggles with her mobility has called for Edinburgh Council to put in additional blue badge parking spaces on Leith Walk.

Cathy Mungall-Baldvinsdottir, who stays at the Shore, feels disabled people have been 'ignored' in the changes made for the trams. Edinburgh Council, however, claim there is 'sufficient' parking for blue badge holders, adding: "Accessibility groups were consulted during the design process."

Cathy said she used to use many of the amenities on Leith Walk, and that before the tramworks began she felt there were numerous options for parking. Now, she's had to find other spots to head to.
