The measures have evolved from the Musselburgh Active Travel Network Masterplan produced in 2018. This identified six key active travel routes aimed at encouraging more people to get around the town without using a car. The masterplan, which resulted from previous consultation, received a “high level of support” and further local connectors to the key routes have now been added to provide a complete network. The consultation will focus on outline design options for three key routes which run west to east, north of the town centre, and south to north from the new developments near Queen Margaret University and along the River Esk:

VANDALISM of a kingfisher mural was branded “disappointing” by the National Trust for Scotland. The conservation charity, which owns and cares for Inveresk Lodge Garden, commissioned Scots artist Tragic O’Hara to paint the artwork and cover up earlier graffiti on a gate in the area. The colourful and much-admired kingfisher, a nod to the bird which can be spotted nesting alongside the river during the summer months, was recently tagged with a large letter ‘Z’ and ‘OE’ below. Claire Grant, operations manager for Edinburgh at the National Trust for Scotland, said: “We’re very disappointed and frustrated by the vandalism of our kingfisher mural and I know the original artist is disappointed too.
