With thanks to Alan Dean of Edinburgh Council, we are filling in gaps in our record of Leith Programme communications from Edinburgh Council. We look forward to the end of the process – the completion of these works, and safety to drive, cycle, walk and use Leith Walk as it should be.

Plans for new Lidl store at 248 Easter Road – new update
Please see the the original post (made on 2 February 2014) for background.
On 11 September 2015, Lidl submitted a full planning application (15/04194/FUL) which appears to occupy a substantially larger footprint and with more parking/loading and retail space than signalled when Lidl representatives presented to LCCC in 2014 and – apparently – to local residents earlier this year. Objections and comments need to be submitted by 16 October 2015.
