BoS says that even before the national Lockdown, personal customers were turning to Internet and Telephone Banking, other branches, and the Post Office instead. Although personal and business usages here are above that of a typical BoS branch, by 14% and 7% respectively, transactions had fallen in the year to March 2020 (see panel). BoS says its decision followed an impact analysis which covered customer choices, alternative branches, public transport, and the effect ‘on our customers including those who may need additional support’. The nearest alternative branches will be at 300 Lawnmarket, which is about a 20-minute walk for an able-bodied person; and 75 George Street, which is slightly further away but can be reached on foot in 15 minutes. You’re likely to see a lot of Ben Liddall over The cashpoint machines will also close, with free-to-use alternatives coming weeks.

  • 6 TIMES – Antony Gormley Statues Proposed for the Water of Leith
    Title - Under the Bridge No 48 SUMMER 2009 No 48 Summer 2009 6 TIMES – Antony Gormley Statues proposed for the Water of Leith. Under the title ‘6 times’ Antony Gormley and the National Galleries of Scotland are proposing a multi-part work which would position six life-size cast iron figures between the Scottish Gallery of Modern Art grounds and the sea at Leith, with four of the figures situated at various points along the Water of Leith. Bell’s Mill Figure Bonnington Figure Antony Gormley is an internationally acclaimed artist, earning recognition for his ‘Angel of the North’ sculpture in Gateshead and more recently the work entitled ‘Another Place’ where 100 cast iron figures were placed on Crosby Beach near Liverpool. This would be his first public installation north of the border. The first figure would be situated in the Gallery grounds, buried up to chest level, the second placed in the pool behind Bell’s Mill Weir in Belford looking down into the water in a contemplative pose. The third in the river in Stockbridge begins to look upward, the fourth is planned for St Marks Park in the Powderhall area, number five is in Bonnington near the new section of walkway and finally the sixth sited on the end of the abandoned pier in Leith Docks. The figures, like those placed at Crosby Beach, are based on Gormley’s body and will rust and age with time. As they will be in the water they will act as gauges for the height of the river and no doubt collect detritus.

  • 4. the Water of Leith As Stated in the Introduction, This Will Be a Briefer
    4. The Water of Leith As stated in the Introduction, this will be a briefer account than those for the other rivers, following the same template in the upper reaches, but focussing on tributaries past and present once within the city boundary of Edinburgh, until the last stretch through Leith. The sources of the Water of Leith are springs at near 400m height on the northern slopes of West Cairn Hill and Colzium Hill, in the Pentland Range. These feed three streams, rather unimaginatively named, ‘West Burn’, ‘Mid Burn’, and ‘East Burn’, which join together near the hamlet of Colzium, to form the Water of Leith, at Grid Reference NT 086 589. From here, the small river winds north-east for c2.5km until it enters Harperrig Reservoir. This large artificial body of water has a surface area of 94 hectares, and is shaped something like an open-mouthed flounder, with its tail to the south-west, where the Water of Leith enters, and with its jaws to the east. The reservoir was opened in 1860, and its function was to store water which could be used, especially during dry spells, to compensate for water abstracted from the springs referred to above, their effusions having been piped into the Edinburgh water supply. Reservoir water was released as needed to maintain the river flow which drove many mills in the 19th century. Somewhat perversely, its function has turned full-circle, as with the mills defunct, it now holds back water which would otherwise increase the risk of flooding in Edinburgh after heavy rain.

The maps of the AQMAs are available online at http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/airquality An AQMA is required when a pollutant fails to meet air quality standards which are set by the Scottish Government. Road traffic is by far the greatest contributor to the high concentrations of NO2 in the city. Earlier assessment work has shown that the NO2 contribution from each vehicle class is different within the AQMAs. For example, cars were shown to contribute the most at Glasgow Road AQMA, with buses having the largest impact along some routes in the Central AQMA (London Road, Gorgie Road/Chesser, Princes Street) and HGVs having a significant impact at Bernard Street. Therefore, in order to improve air quality, it will be necessary to keep all motor vehicle classes under review.

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 is anticipated that 66% of the fleet will be Euro 5 or better by December 2015. The company continues to deploy their cleanest vehicles on high- frequency routes that transit AQMAs.

Governance and structure 6. The strategic context 7. Our strategic priorities, guiding principles and values 8. The way forward 9. The strategic planning cycle and directions 10. Financial planning 11. Managing performance 12. Appendices 1 Foreword The Edinburgh Integration Joint Board (EIJB) Strategic Plan for 2019-2022 continues the journey to improve outcomes for people through the integration of health and social care in the city. Over the past three years, the EIJB has established itself as a Board, and developed its ambitions and priorities for change and improvement in the services delegated to it by its partner organisations NHS Lothian (NHSL) and the City of Edinburgh Council. We have made steady progress across a wide range of services and in improving performance but know there remains much to do. In developing our Strategic Plan, we have remained focussed on our core strategic priorities whilst aiming to be innovative, inclusive and pragmatic. In the first two years of this planning cycle we will focus on four central elements that are mutually supporting. We will define a modern Edinburgh Offer between health and social care providers and our citizens, we will adopt the Three Conversations approach to facilitate and support people who need our help and empower our staff, we will continue to shift the balance of care from hospital services to the community under the banner of Home First and we will initiate a transformation programme which will focus on a broad range of services aimed at rapid redesign.
