Leith Programme Stakeholder Update 81 – Pilrig Street to McDonald Road

Council Report and Leith Programme Phase 4

At last Thursday’s meeting of the City of Edinburgh Council, a report ‘Edinburgh Tram Extension – Next Steps’ was considered. Whilst a report on the proposed tram extension to Newhaven is due to be considered in Spring/Summer 2017, it was agreed that in the meantime, preparatory ‘enabling’ work will be carried out as an integrated part of the Leith Programme. This will avoid unnecessary future duplication of work, should the extension go ahead. Council also agreed to merge the Tram and Leith Programme projects from this point forward. The two projects will now develop a programme for the delivery of Phase 4 (Pilrig Street to McDonald Road) including enabling works, and confirm this to you in due course. Please look out for further email updates from us in early 2016.
