  • Some tree felling work in land next to Malleny Garden was carried out in early March in order to ensure a safe working area to be able to carry out the necessary upgrades

  • These works are part of our overall investment to improve the environment in and around the Water of Leith
  • We are upgrading the CSOs to help prevent items which are wrongly flushed down the toilet - from overflowing into the Water of Leith
