Inverleith

Hal's priorities for Inverleith are:
Edinburgh has experienced significant rain once again, which this time saw the Water of Leith rise to its highest level for years.
Concerns about the state and the safety of Queensferry Road are continuing to rise.
A new lease agreed at Ferranti Bowling Club will provide access to public toilets.
The Council has decided that the Travelling Safely (Spaces for People) measures should be extended for another 18 months.
There have been a number of requests over the years to improve the steps at Maidencraigs. They provide a vital active travel link for residents to access Craigleith Retail Park, amongst other places.
Flooding continues to be an issue across the Ward and the wider city, with more areas experiencing problems.
Many residents have asked for improvements to the well-used but somewhat dated play equipment in Ravelston Park.
Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre was very close to having to close its doors due to a lack of funding.
A new roadway design has now been implemented at the crossing point from Inverleith Park to the Botanic Gardens.
Understandably there have been an increasing number of requests for more on-street Electric Vehicle (EV) charging across the City as more residents are wanting to switch to EV.
Edinburgh City Council is responsible for around 165 playparks spread across the City.
Sadly, flooding continues to be a great concern.
