Summary

The Traffic Regulation Orders Sub-Committee of City of Edinburgh Council met on 4 September 2025 to discuss several traffic-related issues. These included proposed changes to parking restrictions, the implementation of a traffic regulation order, and a review of communal bin locations. The meeting was scheduled to take place both in person at the City Chambers and virtually via Microsoft Teams.

Meadows to George Street Traffic Regulation Order

The committee was scheduled to discuss the Meadows to George Street Traffic Regulation Order TRO/21/32 and Redetermination Order RSO/21/08. The Meadows is a large public park in Edinburgh, and George Street is a major shopping street.

Proposed Amendments to Parking Restrictions

The agenda included a discussion of the objection report for proposed amendments to parking restrictions within the Controlled Parking Zone (CPZ). This was listed as report TRO/24/24. Controlled Parking Zones are areas where parking is regulated to manage demand and ensure access for residents and businesses1.

  • Priority Parking Areas: The first report, TRO-23-35, concerned priority parking areas.
  • Old Town: The second report, TRO-24-23, related to Phase 5 of the review in the Old Town. However, the agenda noted that this report had been withdrawn by the Interim Corporate Director – Place.
