Changes in Edinburgh's C.B.D
Changes in Edinburgh’s C.B.D. 1. The ST. James Centre. The St. James Centre was built at the top of Leith Street in the early 1970’s, to encourage economic growth in a part of the city which was very run –down. There were old tenements – these were knocked down, and the shopping centre and the St. James hotel were built. In the past 4 years, John Lewis, the major department store was completely refurbished and extended to compete with the arrival of the nearby Harvey Nicols store in 2005. 2. The Princes Mall Again to provide a warm inviting environment for shoppers, and to replace old railway sidings beside Waverly station, the Princes Mall was build in the early 1980’s to encourage economic growth in the city centre. This is currently undergoing major refurbishment, as it has faced very stiff competition from out of town shopping centres such as the Gyle and Fort Kinnaird. However, although it is now a government policy that no more out – of – town shopping centres are to be built it is perhaps too late for the Princes Mall as many of the units are currently lying empty. 3. Out of Town Shopping Malls, and the Edinburgh Business Park beside the Gyle have had a major effect on Edinburgh’s C.B.D. Some shops have relocated to the out-of-town malls as there is cheaper land, free parking, and good accessibility as they are located beside major road junctions. However, in many cases it is true to say that many shops have opened another branch and kept their city centre branch e.g.

Rec/S5/19/Tb/Wpl/22 Rural Economy and Connectivity
REC/S5/19/TB/WPL/22 RURAL ECONOMY AND CONNECTIVITY COMMITTEE TRANSPORT (SCOTLAND) BILL – WORKPLACE PARKING LEVY AMENDMENTS SUBMISSION FROM BRITISH LAND On behalf of its retail assets in Scotland, which include Fort Kinnaird in Edinburgh and Glasgow Fort in east Glasgow, British Land welcomes the opportunity to submit a brief response to the Rural Affairs and Connectivity Committee’s Call for Evidence on the proposed introduction of a Workplace Parking Levy as part of the Transport (Scotland) Bill. British Land’s Scotland-based retail assets have been a genuine success story in recent years, both in terms of the significant opportunities for local employment they provide and the positive contribution they make, both economically and to the local communities where they are located. In Edinburgh, Fort Kinnaird directly employs 2,000 people and contributes £53million in gross value added to the Scottish economy every year. Working with local partners, the Fort Kinnaird Recruitment and Skills Centre has helped more than 3,200 people into work since 2013. Meanwhile, Glasgow Fort directly employs 2,500 people, 65% of whom live within 5km of the site in an area of east Glasgow that has one of the highest rates of multiple deprivation anywhere in Scotland. British Land is a member of the Scottish Retail Consortium and fully endorses the SRC’s own submission to the Call for Evidence. British Land has important concerns about the proposed introduction of a Workplace Parking Levy, which can be briefly summarised as follows: • Many employees at British Land sites work shift patterns during times when there is limited access to public transport.
