Summary
Edinburgh councillors have approved a controversial bus gate for West Craigs, restricting traffic from exiting the development onto Glasgow Road for 11 hours a day, five days a week — sparking fierce backlash. The move, backed by Lothian Buses to ensure reliable bus service, is seen by many residents as rushed and poorly consulted, with polls showing majority opposition. Critics warn it could leave the area with only one exit — Cammo Road, deemed unsafe — forcing a dangerous compromise. Officials call it a trial to prioritize public transport access for vulnerable groups, but the 8-2 vote has ignited community anger, echoing past disputes like Corstorphine’s.
