Leith Central Community Council business carries on.
City developments, in particular planning, transportation and environment, continue during the lockdown, however LCCC meeting agendas will also provide opportunity to discuss COVID-19 issues, as some community councillors are using their time to assist their local neighbourhoods.
There are also many groups working in the Leith Central area and across Edinburgh providing essential services and who would be grateful for support/business. Please consider them;
