Trams for Edinburgh - Utility Diversion Programme

All,

The City of Edinburgh Council has given their approval to commence the next stage of our utility diversion work on Leith Walk, and affects the route sector from Jameson Place to Brunswick Street on the southbound carriageway.

This work will commence on Monday 7^th January 2008 and is expected to last until June 2008. We have spoken to Lothian & Borders Police, Lothian Buses, AMIS and the City of Edinburgh Council and arrangements are in place to maintain suitable access to bus stops and loading bays but parking restrictions will apply at various locations through this programme of works.

We will be delivering approximately 1750 communication packs to residents and businesses on and around the worksite. This communication pack includes a letter, traffic management sheet and special requirements card and I have attached a copy of the correspondence, which I hope you will find helpful.

In the meantime if you have any questions then please do not hesitate to contact me or Mike Connelly, Stakeholder Relationship Manager at tie Limited.
