It could either be four central zones or a larger area including Newington, Bruntsfield and Stockbridge.</p> <p>The money from the parking charges would be put towards improving Sunday bus services.</p> <p>Other measures would also see 20mph zones being extended to "all residential streets, shopping areas, including the city centre, and to main roads with high pedestrian activity".</p> <p>Councillors are also suggesting extending 30mph zones to any road with houses, shops or businesses, except dual carriageways.</p> <p>Cllr Lesley Hinds said: "This is a great opportunity to shape the future direction of transport in Edinburgh, and we’re keen to hear the views of as many members of the public and interest groups as possible." </p>
