Ian Murray Working Hard for Edinburgh South
In October we carried out an extensive survey on the then proposed Meadows Quiet Route scheme. It was clear from the feedback we had received on other Spaces for People initiatives that the lack of consultation from the Council was a real issue. Our survey was meant to not only inform residents about the proposals but allow for them to respond to them and comment on them.
The below results were submitted to the Transport and Environment Committee which met on 12th November. The proposals will now be heard at full council.
