🏘️ A new Living Rent report highlights the gap between policy and enforcement — only 10 complaints recorded last year.
With so many Leith residents in private lets, this matters. LCCC will keep pushing for safe, well-maintained homes for all.
Report 📄 https://t.co/Ae75WOksno
🚦 Road casualties in Edinburgh North & Leith have fallen steadily over the past 2 decades 📉
LCCC’s been part of that progress — pushing for safer streets, fairer transport & better walking & cycling routes.
Change is happening — Leith’s moving in the right direction.
📣 LCCC is seeking new members
It’s not all work, work, work — sometimes there’s music too 🎸
But we do get things done: housing, planning, parks and licensing.

🚫 Our position on PBSAs
Leith already has 2/3 of all student beds in Edinburgh — despite having no university campus. Further PBSA expansion is unbalanced and unsustainable.
🏘️ We’re calling for a moratorium and a focus on affordable homes instead.

📋✨ LCCC seeks a Minutes Secretary (paid £60/month) to attend monthly meetings (3rd Mon, 7–9pm, not July) & produce minutes. Ideal: strong listening & writing, detail-oriented, interested in local affairs, familiar with Word. Email [email protected]
🎶 Meas Mór – Kabin Crew x Tinderbox Collective
Tha seo glè mhath! 🙌 Young musicians from Leith & Cork came together online to co-write an Irish–Scots Gaelic rap celebrating language & friendship. Big respect tae the Taobh na Pàirce weans in LCCC area! 🎥 https://t.co/c3aWk85lCb
🏘️ Affordable Housing - The Red Sandstone
Block 2 (market-rent) is done, but Block 1, the affordable units, is still vacant. LCCC has asked the developer & planning authority about the phasing plan, Section 75 & compliance with Edinburgh Affordable Housing Guidance. 💬 Your view?
🧳 LCCC has adopted a new policy on Short Term Let planning applications. ⛔ We’ll normally object where STLs affect housing supply, shared access, or local amenity, or where they continue without proper consent. 👉 https://t.co/ZHm7QGmuI5 Your view❓
Reminder: LCCC meeting tonight, 7 PM at Nelson Hall 🕖📍. Updates on policing, planning, transport, parks & more, plus an open forum for residents & businesses. Full agenda 👉 https://t.co/kVhyGiu2pa
🌱💐 Brunswick Street planters are thriving thanks to residents & anonymous donors – true community spirit!
But is it sustainable that locals must carry the load (and the water)?
What do you think?
Community action in Leith makes a difference! 🛴🚍 A resident reached out to LCCC after their child was refused entry with a scooter at a remote stop. Thanks to our help and their persistence, Lothian Buses has updated the policy ✅ More info & join EBUG: https://t.co/3YFw7LX68i
Next LCCC meeting: Mon 15 Sept, 7pm at Nelson Hall, McDonald Road Library. Open to all residents & businesses — hear updates on local issues + share your views in the open forum. Agenda/papers 👉 https://t.co/OUzCdrzLs9
