Last night’s meeting of the Council’s North West Locality Committee approved set two new sets of parking restrictions.
1. BARNTON AVENUE WEST
This TRO followed a consultation back in Aug/Sep 2016 and came on the back of concerns about day time parking from school drop offs and pick ups as well as obstructions to household driveways.
The TRO delivers;
• Double yellow (no waiting) lines at the turning circle at the eastern end of Barnton Avenue West,
• Single yellow (no waiting between 07:30 and 18:30 Monday to Friday) lines along the south side of the road, from 10 Barnton Avenue West along to the turning circle.
We tabled an amendment which requires Council officials to carry out a full review, 12 months after the new lines are put down. The results of that review will have to come back to us and other councillors to consider. That way, we can decide whether additional restrictions are needed.

2. CRAMOND GLEBE ROAD
Concerns were raised that, when the Cramond Car park is full, drivers often park on Cramond Glebe Road. Due to the busy nature of the area local congestion often occurs and
emergency services access has been affected.
The introduction of the double yellow lines in part of Cramond Glebe Road will prohibit parking between the Car Park and the Kirk and should provide safe access for visitors, residents, businesses and emergency services.

The new lines should be painted in the next few months.
