An Edinburgh bar manager has taken aim at the council after being ‘fenced in’ since the beginning of the year.
Graham Parsons, who runs the Roseleaf Bar Café with his wife Kylie, said ongoing works in Sandport Place in Leith have led to a decline in passing trade which he described as ‘the lifeblood’ of the hospitality sector.
The ongoing works form part of the Leith Connections project to deliver ‘new community spaces’ and provide improved environments for walking, wheeling and cycling in the Leith area. The project includes a new pedestrian and cycle link between the Foot of the Walk and Dock Street which got underway in November.
