PICARDY PLACE MANIFESTO LAUNCHED

Submitted by Editor on Wed, 06/12/2017 - 13:45

Following their inaugural meeting on 29 November, opponents of the Council’s proposed Picardy Place gyratory have issued a manifesto. 

The two-page document aims to inform people across Edinburgh, and provides links and addresses to facilitate their response to the Council consultation which ends on Friday 15 December. 

The Picardy Group’s reasons for opposing the gyratory are briefly:

  • reduction of useable public space
  • failure to explore other options
  • inconvenience for pedestrians and cyclists
  • rushed CEC decision making.

The document ends with a list of what the PG says are positive alternatives.
