From South West Locality - Roads:</p> <p><em>Unfortunately, there has been a misunderstanding with the developer. A Temporary Traffic Regulation Order (TTRO) is required and agreement with The City of Edinburgh Council to close any footway. The developer was under the impression that due to the fact this footway was not adopted by The City of Edinburgh Council for maintenance this agreement was not required. I have now sent an instruction for this closure to be removed until the required agreements and TTRO is required.</em> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17483#post-256848 Tue, 08 Aug 2017 10:39:35 +0000 dougal 256848@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@nedd1e_h Aye, was dumped into the one-way system last night, thinking "this can't be right...".</p> <p>I take it the "no road works during the festival" rule, whatever it's actually called, only applies to motorised traffic? There's still plenty of pavement that's been blocked off or otherwise impeded (don't even get me started on pavement parking), which seems doubly-daft during the festival. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17483#post-256833 Mon, 07 Aug 2017 21:16:55 +0000 neddie 256833@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The cut through on Melvin Walk is currently closed. Workies reckoned it might only be for "a couple of days" (LOL).
