@pairbs I don't think anyone is proposing to "cut-off" local residents from their private, off-street parking places. Indeed, in the Evening News article, Greener Leith calls for a range of options to be looked at - and we'd like to see more detailed consultation with local residents before any final decision is made.

However, from what we gather the Friends of the Water of Leith Basin - which is entirely comprised of residents who live on and around the Shore are keen to see traffic reduced on the street. So, local people are very much involved in the decision making.
