🏘️ A new Living Rent report highlights the gap between policy and enforcement — only 10 complaints recorded last year. With so many Leith residents in private lets, this matters. LCCC will keep pushing for safe, well-maintained homes for all. Report 📄 livingrent.org/edinburghenfor…
🚦 Road casualties in Edinburgh North & Leith have fallen steadily over the past 2 decades 📉 LCCC’s been part of that progress — pushing for safer streets, fairer transport & better walking & cycling routes. Change is happening — Leith’s moving in the right direction.
📣 LCCC is seeking new members It’s not all work, work, work — sometimes there’s music too 🎸 But we do get things done: housing, planning, parks and licensing. Join us and help shape Leith’s future 👉 [email protected]
📣 Last weekend to have your say Help shape Leith’s future — the Local Place Plan survey closes soon. 🏘️🚲🌳 Share your views on housing, transport, greenspaces & more: 👉 ealaimpacts.co.uk/leith-place-pl… Every voice counts.
🚫 Our position on PBSAs Leith already has 2/3 of all student beds in Edinburgh — despite having no university campus. Further PBSA expansion is unbalanced and unsustainable. 🏘️ We’re calling for a moratorium and a focus on affordable homes instead. 👉 tinyurl.com/jvntj3cm
📋✨ LCCC seeks a Minutes Secretary (paid £60/month) to attend monthly meetings (3rd Mon, 7–9pm, not July) & produce minutes. Ideal: strong listening & writing, detail-oriented, interested in local affairs, familiar with Word. Email [email protected]
🎶 Meas Mór – Kabin Crew x Tinderbox Collective Tha seo glè mhath! 🙌 Young musicians from Leith & Cork came together online to co-write an Irish–Scots Gaelic rap celebrating language & friendship. Big respect tae the Taobh na Pàirce weans in LCCC area! 🎥 youtu.be/whwQfPVOFjI
🏘️ Affordable Housing - The Red Sandstone Block 2 (market-rent) is done, but Block 1, the affordable units, is still vacant. LCCC has asked the developer & planning authority about the phasing plan, Section 75 & compliance with Edinburgh Affordable Housing Guidance. 💬 Your view?
🧳 LCCC has adopted a new policy on Short Term Let planning applications. ⛔ We’ll normally object where STLs affect housing supply, shared access, or local amenity, or where they continue without proper consent. 👉 leithccc.wordpress.com/wp-content/upl… Your view❓
Reminder: LCCC meeting tonight, 7 PM at Nelson Hall 🕖📍. Updates on policing, planning, transport, parks & more, plus an open forum for residents & businesses. Full agenda 👉 tinyurl.com/7ssjetye
🌱💐 Brunswick Street planters are thriving thanks to residents & anonymous donors – true community spirit! But is it sustainable that locals must carry the load (and the water)? What do you think?
Community action in Leith makes a difference! 🛴🚍 A resident reached out to LCCC after their child was refused entry with a scooter at a remote stop. Thanks to our help and their persistence, Lothian Buses has updated the policy ✅ More info & join EBUG: edinburghbususers.group
Next LCCC meeting: Mon 15 Sept, 7pm at Nelson Hall, McDonald Road Library. Open to all residents & businesses — hear updates on local issues + share your views in the open forum. Agenda/papers 👉 bit.ly/LCCCpapers
Short-term lets in Leith Leith Central CC is finalising our policy on short-term lets 🏘️. Join the discussion at our next meeting: Mon 15 Sept, 7pm, McDonald Rd Library. All welcome. #LeithCentral #STL
A late-hours licence application has been lodged for Pepe’s Piri Piri, 38–39 Elm Row. Hours requested: Sun–Thurs: 11pm–1am Fri–Sat: 11pm–2am Deadline for representations: 24 September Write directly to Licensing Service, or respond here and we’ll gather views together.
@edinhelp hi Abby, I saw a wheelchair user get stuck in this rut yesterday and almost tipped out of his chair. It’s by the car club bay by 10 Blenheim Place
🚮 Overflowing bin in Leith? Report it! 🚮 👉 Online: edinburgh.gov.uk/communalbin 📞 0131 200 2000 🐦 @edinhelp (location + photo) Include: bin type, exact location, photo if you can. Every report helps keep Leith clean. #Leith #Edinburgh
