@brimcrob.bsky.socialHah there is a wee kid on leith walk throwing those wee bangers outside a shop where the adults are. He looked up at me and said 'Hiya!' with a big grin and continued to throw dow his bangers. Living his best day.
I thought they no longer sold bangers..obviously someone does

@edincrr.bsky.socialA memory popped up from Leith, Edinburgh.
I used to own on this street and I loved it here, especially when the sky decided to put on a show after a quick post-work drink with friends.
Funny how an old photo can take you straight back.

@grumpykiltpin.bsky.socialStrange optical illusion at the waterfront in Leith. These yellow windfarm jackets seem huge and appear to loom over the whole area, yet when you take a picture they are in reality quite far away. Odd 🤔

@spokes.org.ukGreen: Cllr @chasbooth.bsky.social
Strongly supports tram - e.g. huge benefit to #Leith
A #Granton route is vital
Emphasises bike/tramline dangers and seeks segregation on south route, plus include parallel routes in the tram project
#LeithWalk also cut *pedestrian* casualties
![extract from spokes deputation
Whilst there have been undoubted problems with cycle lane detailed design, the overall results in terms of council objectives, have been very positive. First, rather than tramlines deterring cycling as happens in Princes Street, the separated bike lanes contributed to major increases in bike use9. Perhaps even more important, not only have bike/tramline crashes and injuries been all but eliminated, but, despite common perceptions, Leith Walk pedestrian casualties have also fallen drastically - see the bluesky post below from Edward Tissiman. The reasons for this are not known but, given that virtually all pedestrian injuries result from motor vehicles, we speculate that crucial factors are the separation of pedestrians from the carriageway by the cycle lanes, and safer road crossings due to the ban on kerbside parking.
