Cycled into the City Centre via castle Terrace onto Lothian Road into Princes St and then left into Charlotte. SQ intending to go to George St. 🤯 Had to get off onto the pavement while I tried and failed to work out where I was supposed to go. Did I miss a diversion sign?

Nothing to see here, I'm sure everything will be fine

Very well said and a great thread to follow

We share your dismay, and also the loss of funding to other projects caused by this . Finding it hard to to see how safe school streets across Edinburgh will ever be delivered now because quietened residential streets might now be off the agenda
