7 JUNE START-DATE FOR TRAM EXTENSION
Revenue-generating services will start operating along the Newhaven to Broughton tramway extension on 7 June 2023.
Testing at various speeds and to timetable will continue between now and June to familiarise drivers with the route and integrate software and signals with the control centre in darkest Gogar.
‘While this is a moment for celebration', said Council Leader Cammy Day this morning, speaking over the sound of locals grinding their teeth 'it's also a chance to reflect on the last few years.

POLLUTION IN THE WATER OF LEITH
SCOTTISH WATER LACKS DATA
Data supplied by Scottish Water sheds light on the network of combined sewer overflows (CSOs) feeding into the Water of Leith.
The figures quoted were obtained in response to a request made by Harald Tobermann, vice chair of Leith Central Community Council, under Environment Information (Scotland) Regulations, 2014.

Rats
Dear Spurtle,
Someone is putting bird food out on the cyclepath near Wariston allotments which is attracting rats in broad daylight.
While it is not uncommon to see a rat from time to time, leaving out bird seed is attractive them in droves. There is absolutely no need to feed the birds at this time of the year.
For people like me who have a rat phobia, it is making walking on the cyclepath very difficult.
Are there any suggestions about how this could be discouraged?
