Ash Denham MSP for Edinburgh Eastern will convene a meeting for residents of Lochend Gardens to discuss implementing parking restrictions in the area.
A number of residents have contacted the MSP’s office to tell her about the problems with vehicles in the area when Hibs play home games.
Constituents have said that the extra cars use pavements and green spaces, and that the road becomes restricted. Residents are concerned about access for emergency vehicles.
In one circumstance, an elderly resident fell and hurt her hip due to mud on the pavement from the vehicles which had parked there.
The meeting will take place Wednesday, 26 April, 6:00pm at the Restalrig Lochend Community Hub.
