An Edinburgh woman has slammed Edinburgh City Council after her father was injured when he tripped over active travel bollards on Corstorphine High Street.
Anne Azak says that her father James Bridges, 92, tumbled over the barrier that was put in place under the council’s Spaces for People measures. The injuries he sustained have left the "fiercely independent" father bed-bound in hospital.
The incident took place on April 3 at around 6.45pm when James was crossing a quiet road to look at bus times on the opposite side of the street. He broke a bone in his hand and severely bruised his face.
