The removal of the Tram Information Boards from Leith walk has led to a frank admission from tie that, "Until a more definitive timetable has been agreed for the tram works, there is little point in continuing to keep out-of-date notice boards on the street", according to an article in the Edinburgh Evening News on 30 July: Tram information signs are torn down across the board tie has also moved to quash any suggestion that there is any significance in the fact that only the boards on Leith Walk have thus far been removed, by claiming that, "We are still fully committed to delivering the whole route of the tram.". |

 Pupils from Leith Academy have handed in a petition to restore the Leith flag to the community after it went into abeyance in the 1920s, according to an article in The Scotsman on 9 June:
Leith looking to restore flag days The drive to restore the flag was initiated by Alex Wilson, a local designer, and in conjunction with pupils from Leith Academy has approached the Deputy Lord Provost, (and local councillor) Rob Munn. The formal request to ressurrect the flag will be made to the office of the Lord Lyon. The LBA are fully supportive of this project, and it is hoped that local businesses can become involved. |

Transport Convenor, Councillor Gordon Mackenzie is endeavouing to break the current impasse in the long-running legal wrangling between tie and Bilfinger Berger, according to an article in the Edinburgh Evening News on 7 June: Trams dispute: 'It's a brave move – and a huge gamble' The article outlines two potential outcomes: Scenario 1 - the two sides agree that Bilfinger Berger leaves the project soon. That might involve a pay-off after completing part of the work, to St Andrew Square or Haymarket. Scenario 2 - the dispute will now end up in court. Which could leave the scheme stuck in limbo for years without a single new track being laid. Neither of these scenarios would see tracks laid in Leith for the forseeable future. Any potential benefit from the arrival of the trams will not now be forthcoming to offset the hardship and inconvenience encountered during the MUDFA works. |
