Queensferry High Street project public event – 24 September

The Council is currently taking forward a £1 million project to redevelop the Queensferry High Street.  This aims to improve the local infrastructure, parking control, traffic management and pedestrian areas.

Two rounds of consultation took place earlier in the year. Of those who responded;

  • Almost 80% were in favour of the use of natural stone setts for the new street surface rather than tarmac.
  • There was an almost three way split on the different options around traffic flow (limit on HGVs but nothing else / a  new one way system / no through road).

The project consultants now plan to present specific proposals for residents to view and comment on later this month.

A new public drop in event will take place on Monday 24 September at Orroco Pier.  You can come along anytime 3-8pm to speak with the team, view the proposals and feed in your views.

Actual construction works are likely to commence around February 2019 and be complete in October 2019.

Please do come along on the 24th if you can.
