Bid to clean up the Walk

Police, council officers and local people are to join together in two weeks of action on Leith Walk.

The event will cover the road from Montgomery Street to Albert Street, and will include a crackdown on illegal waste dumping, and tests of stair security by community safety and police officers.

The fortnight, which runs from February 14-28, is organised by the area's Safer Neighbourhood Team and Leith Neighbourhood Partnership.
