Scot slams council as new traffic rules mean he can only leave home at 'certain times'
A Scots man suffering from cerebral palsy has slammed a new traffic scheme in Edinburgh that has made his daily life 'impossible'.
Grant, who has lived in the area for 11 years, struggles to walk and needs his car to travel but due to the LTN bus lane timings, he is forced to stay at home for some parts of the day, Edinburgh Live reports. “If I want to go to the bank or if I want to meet someone for coffee, I just can’t do it, I can only do it during the times that have been allocated. It is virtually impossible for me to move around.
Councillor Scott Arthur, Transport and Environment Convener, said: “We really want everyone to share in the benefits of Corstorphine Connections, and the changes we’re putting in place are about making it much easier and safer for people of all abilities to walk, wheel, cycle and relax in their local community.
