Barnton cyclist incident: can you help?
At about 8.30pm on Friday 19th June, a 32 year old man was cycling his dark red Genesis Hybrid pedal cycle on Barnton Avenue.
About 20 yards from the junction with Cramond Road South, the rider became unseated from his bike and sustained injuries. The exact cause of the incident is unknown, however there is the possibility that another vehicle may have been involved.
Images of the bike are attached and at this time it is unconfirmed if any other vehicles were involved.
Anyone with information is urged to contact police on 101, quoting incident 2977 of 22 June.
Substantial housing development planned for Davidson’s Mains
A planning application has been submitted to construct 36 new homes in Davidson’s Mains.
The plans would build on much of the car park to the rear of Tesco as well as land previously used by Clelands garage off Main Street before it closed.
The application proposes four (2-3 storey) buildings with a mix of two and three bedroom apartments.
Access to the new housing would be a single point from Main Street. There would be a small green space as part of the development which could be used as a play park.
There would be 30 parking spaces and covered spaces for 70 bicycles.
A rerouted cycling/pedestrian path would be preserved from Tesco to the old railway line that runs between Silverknowes Terrace and The Green.
Local Almond Lib Dem councillors Kevin Lang and Louise Young are alerting residents to the proposals:
“Important – because of COVID, the Council planning department has had to suspend official neighbour notifications for planning applications. Whilst the online site suggests a deadline of 13 April, this is not correct. No deadline currently exists for comments to be submitted – we’ll update our site when one is set.
“We are really keen to hear our constituents’ views on this application. You can submit views formally through the online portal (link below) but please send a copy of your comments to us by email – kevin.lang@edinburgh.gov.uk and louise.young@edinburgh.gov.uk”
