Plans have been submitted to Edinburgh Council which would see eight new police boxes built in a busy area, offering new pop-up vendors including opportunities for food and drink stalls.
The plan is to create a new community hub and add to the single police box currently situated on Leith Walk. If permission is granted, eight more similar boxes would be installed as well as toilet facilities and a supply of electricity.
The applicant, Leith Walk Police Box, is behind the plans, saying: "The project is located on Leith Walk, Edinburgh. There is currently a 1930’s police box structure on the site on the wider pavement with high foot and cyclist traffic.
