The council recognise that the current AQAP requires to be revised and this will include new AQMA declarations and extensions of the existing AQMAs This report provides an update on progress achieved for measures contained in the AQAP and City of Edinburgh Council’s Local Transport Strategy 2014 to 2019. The document requires to be read in conjunction with the Updating and Screening Assessment Report for City of Edinburgh Council 2015. This report concludes that steady progress has been achieved with respect to management of emissions from buses and freight via a voluntary approach. However, it is evident that the VERP proposed target of buses to be 100% Euro 5 by the end of October 2015 will not be achieved. Lothian Buses is the main local service provider in Edinburgh.

It outlines four opportunities ‘access’, ‘waterway, development and environment’, ‘community, recreation and tourism’ and ‘infrastructure, drainage and climate change’ as well as the creation of seven ‘canal hubs’. The strategy is accompanied with a ‘Delivery Plan’ which sets out policies and proposals to make the Union Canal a successful and recognisable place. Since then outlined projects have been delivered such as the surface upgrading of the Canal towpath, between the canal basin and Ratho, in 2011, solar lighting (between Canal basin and Longstone) and improvements of several access points. These improvements have been a huge success with pedestrians and cyclists. Especially along the Edinburgh section of the towpath the use has increased significantly as a commuter route as well as for leisure activities. However, at the same time these growing numbers of both groups (pedestrians and cyclists) have brought some conflicts at times. Over the years Spokes has taken several initiatives to help foster thought and consideration by all path users.
