Works on Featherhall Avenue and Manse Road have been delayed to April.
The ongoing closure of Murrayfield Place is causing particular problems, but Now that the cold weather has receded, these should be completed within the next 2 weeks or so and Roseburn should begin to return to normal.
Significant surface flooding was a serious problem over Christmas and the New Year.
Both sites are under threat, and many residents have been in touch with concerns.
The rollout of the new bin hubs is currently taking place in Roseburn, Coltbridge and parts of Corstorphine.
The biggest issue residents have been contacting us about recently are poor road & pavement conditions.
Alan and Euan brought a motion recently for the Council to explore support for Roseburn's businesses to support with the drop in business that they have seen during the CCWEL Roadworks.
We are all aware of road safety issues across the Corstorphine and Murrayfield, but what is particularly concerning is the slow rate to implement improvements.
A big issue in Corstorphine - again – over the last couple of months has been flooding at Clermiston Road, Coltbridge and parts of Roseburn.
At last months Council meeting, Euan and Alan's motion asking for financial support for Roseburn's businesses due to the ongoing impact of the CCWEL works passed.
