Leith Neighbourhood Travel Plans

As part of our We Love Leith campaign to promote greener travel, we mailed everyone in the Leith Neighbourhood Partnership (that's about 30,000 households!) with a travel map, and a neighbourhood travel plan that gives residents more information about how they can get to the top 10 local travel destinations, to compliment the map.

The neighbourhood travel plans show you which bus to take if you want to take the bus. And If you want to walk or cycle, the travel plans show you how long it's likely to take you, and how many calories and climate changing CO2 you would save in the process!

We're delighted to be able to make these travel plans available on-line in case anyone missed them. In particular, we've had a few enquiries from local businesses looking for these resources for their staff. 

To do this we worked with our project partners SISTech, to divide the Leith Neighbourhood Partnership up into nine areas*, that you can see on the map above. Once you've worked our which neighbourhood area you live in, you can download the appropriate travel plan from the links below.

1. Pilrig/Broughton

2. Easter Road/Abbeyhill

3. Leith Central

4. Leith Links South

5. Leith Links

6. Bonnington

7. Newhaven/Fort

8. North Leith

9. Western Harbour

If your neighbourhood travel plan inspires you to to try a greener way to travel about the local neighbourhood, why not let us know by making a We Love Leith travel pledge?

*Now, we made the boundaries of these areas up, and their names, to make the travel plans 'work' - but we know they don't always match up with traditional neighbourhood boundaries and names so please don't bend our ears about it!
