Have Your Say on the Future of ‘Spaces for People’

9 March 2021 By EVOC Communications Team

City of Edinburgh Council is considering whether to keep in place some of the temporary ‘Spaces for People’ measures that are helping people to physically distance and travel safely during the Covid-19 pandemic. This is because many of the temporary measures are likely to help achieve the Council’s long-term objectives to change how we travel, making it easier for people to get about and to help meet net carbon-free targets.

These plans include:
– encouraging people to switch to more sustainable ways to travel
– making it more pleasant, easier and safer for people to explore their local area
– supporting high street and city centre businesses by providing more space for people
– improving road safety and health
– reducing carbon dioxide emissions, to help the city achieve its net zero carbon by 2030.

Trialling schemes for a longer period – or making them permanent – will allow for a change in the way people and communities interact and connect across our city. 

HAVE YOUR SAY
Whether an existing temporary scheme is on your street, your family’s street(s), your local high street or somewhere you visit or pass through on your journeys, the Council would like to know what you think. After hearing people’s views and assessing the temporary measures that are in place, they’ll make recommendations to councillors on whether to keep them either on a trial basis for a longer period or perhaps more permanently.


Once a decision has been made on whether to keep any measures on a trial or permanent basis, the Council will of course follow the normal legal processes for Experimental Traffic Regulation Orders (ETRO) or Traffic Regulation Orders (TRO). This will include an opportunity for residents, businesses and stakeholders to comment and formally object.
