Queensferry High Street improvements

Project Update

The project has experienced some delays during Phase 1 (Seals Craig to Hawes Car Park) due to unforeseen circumstances in material supply. To ensure the quality of the works and to keep the project on track, we taken the decision to delay the start of the main works on the High Street (Phase 2) until the necessary materials are available. This approach will help us avoid further delays and aim to minimise parking disruptions and inconvenience to local residents and businesses.

We are also working closely with our newly appointed contractor to review the programme, focusing on options to maintain the original timeline. Our aim remains to complete the project by the original end date (December 2026) whilst delivering a high quality outcome.

In response to a community ask, the project will also be carrying out repair works to Jacob's Ladder. We are in advanced discussions with Rosebery Estates regarding permissions to carry out these works and further information will be available in due course. 

We recognise that changes like these can be frustrating, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through these challenges.  We remain committed to completing this project as smoothly and efficiently as possible, with minimal disruption.
