New pavement and road projects coming to the area
Last week's Transport and Environment committee saw councillors approve the following new projects across Leith Walk ward.
This was helped made possible by the additional £13m the Liberal Democrat Group secured for paths, pavements and roads in the 2023/24 Financial Year budget. The following list will not include localised works such as partial pavement reconstructions.
