Yes - broadly similar request submitted (15 September) to "provide a detailed update on the status of the bridge" including "the condition of the bridge, its closure, the diversion and the future repair/replacement of the bridge" & also to request a Council officer attends the next NTBCC meeting.

1/ 🚧 St Mark’s Path bridge: still closed, still waiting for answers There was frustration at Monday night’s LCCC meeting about the continuing closure of the bridge. The concern is also the lack of clear information about what failed, options considered and speed of reopening

1/ 🏨 Too many aparthotels?�Too much student accommodation?� Worried about the loss of homes to short-term lets? Here’s the important bit: by the time a planning application arrives, the rules it will be judged against will already have been written. That’s why CITY PLAN 2040 matters.

1/ 🧵🚧 Dalmeny St/Leith Walk junction - is it working properly for everyone using it? There have been several repair attempts since completion of the tram line. The repairs have been temporary, and the problem keeps returning because they're shallow, affected by vibration from passing vehicles.
