NTBCC Submits Applications to Local Traffic Improvement Programme
The New Town and Broughton Community Council has submitted six applications for projects to be included in the Council’s Local Traffic Improvement Programme. This scheme was established by the Council to allow community groups to identify small improvement projects that would address local travel issues. The applications are primarily concerned with improving pedestrian safety but also seek repairs to road surfaces and better road signage.
Improved Crossings in Gayfield Square
Copies of all the applications are given below. If there are small projects which would make a difference in your area, do let us know and we will add them to the list for next year.

The Big Wheel in Princes Gardens – A Decision!
We have recently received an email from the Council following the representations that we and others had made regarding the extended operating period that had been proposed for The Big Wheel in Princes Gardens. The following is an extract from that email.
Thank you for responding and providing feedback on the application to host a Big Wheel in East Princes Street Gardens this summer.
The engagement stage of the process has now closed and having considered feedback from all our internal and external stakeholders, we have agreed that this application should not proceed.
Please share this information with your own networks as required.
Clearly it shows that at least on some occasions, it is worth providing timely comments. Thanks to everyone that did so.
