All roads lead to Leith today (albeit very slowly) with spy cameras, bus diversions and a waterfront police HQ.
THE city wants to install hidden cameras to catch those drivers who are lured to Leith's ladies of the night. You seemed rather indifferent to the idea.

Surely all this will do is move the ladies to another pitch

The more cameras catching legs like hers the better

What happens if you just walk up to one! I've nae number plate, but I know a nice wee spot in Dalmeny Park.

£200K for this farce is stupid. Give me £20K and I'll run the buggers out of town. Another totally misguided STUPID policy decision that has no purpose other than to monitor drivers.
Rv2!,

Wouldn't it be cheaper just to shoot them all with paintballs until they moved on? Also: put up signs in Polish saying "Don't do this".

We mustn't assume that every car crawling along in Leith is being driven by a man desperate to sate an unruly libido. No, the vast majority of the traffic is crawling along because on the continuing tram works. You are, on the whole, disgusted at the move to divert buses from Leith Walk along Easter Road.

Just how many businesses will be left after the tramwork is finally finished?

Edinburgh is closed. Will open again in 2015.

If we must have trams work on Leith Walk, they should limit the disruption (which is going to be absolutely hellish) by getting the work done as quickly as possible. Why does it need to take so long?
World class concrete

'TIE said it was still finalising the details of the diversions' REALLY? Since when did TIE (a private – if Cooncil owned – company) have the power to make such decisions? Or has the arrogant tail now come out into the open with its wagging of the dog?

Easter Road is gridlocked at the best of times. Good luck to the shop owners

OK here's a small suggestion. The tram works is a right royal pain in the a*** but how about for the duration of the upheaval the koonsul stop doing other roadworks that add even more hassle to a journey?

I wish this "chaos" would go on forever. I love the idea of car drivers being even more annoyed than usual. Don't suppose it'll prevent any of them from driving though.
Ron D, Enybru

One imagines the chaos will have resolved into order by the time the police move their HQ to the waterfront (if they do, of course).

Since L&B covers all the way from the Forth to, well, Langholm, would it not make more sense to have the HQ nearer the people they are supposed to serve?
Grumpy

I wonder if they will get the lads that painted the policebox pink in to decorate a new building for them?
Hibernia

Another waste of money – the Chief Constable needs a good shake.
