    QUESTION NO 12

    By Councillor Booth for answer by the Convener of the Transport and Environment Committee at a meeting of the Council on 17 September 2026

    Given that it may be several years until the St Mark's Park bridge is repaired or replaced, and given this is a vital part of our active travel infrastructure, will the Convener please outline what steps the council is taking to explore the
    installation of a temporary diversion path?

    Specifically, has the council considered the feasibility of using the existing Powderhall railway bridge opposite Redbraes Park to connect the Water of Leith path to Broughton Road

    By coincidence WoLCT posted a picture of litter picking on the track to the bridge on BS on Thursday
