Essential Gas Works on Redford Road will start on 10 August & Corrennie Drive on the 24th
SGN have written to us as follows:
We will restart work in Redford Road/Colinton Road on Monday the 10 August and will last approximately six weeks. This work will be carried out by our contractor George Ritchie, Utilities on our behalf
During this project we are required to commission the gas mains previously laid and decommission the existing metallic apparatus. This will involve:
- Redford Road closure to through vehicular traffic between Redford Drive and Colinton Road. Local access will still be maintained.
- Closure of Thorburn Road junction with Colinton Road. Both these roads will not be closed at the same time.
- Temporary signals will beCn place on Colinton Road which will likely cause delays during peak periods. These will be manually controlled throughout.
To help carryout these essential works parking suspensions will also be in place throughout.
UPDATE:
We wish to assure you that work will progress as quickly as possible and we will make every effort to minimise any inconvenience caused by our works.
We’re working closely with Scottish Government to make sure we carry out our project in line with all expert coronavirus guidance. We have extra safety precautions in place to protect our colleagues and our communities while we work. There’s more information about our coronavirus response on our website: sgn.co.uk/coronavirus
We’re writing to residents and other local stakeholders to make them aware of our project and explain the details of our work. Please feel free to also share this information with anyone you think may be impacted by our project.
If you have any specific enquiries about this project, please call us on 0800 912 1700 and our customer service team will be happy to help.
Thank you for your support during these challenging times.
Kind regards
Caroline

Garden Waste -Register for New Permits from 30 July
The current garden waste service year ends on 8 November. To continue to receive collections after that date, in the next service year which runs until 7 November 2021, residents need to renew their permit or sign up for one by 2pm on 9 September. Registration opens from 10am on Thursday 30 July.
Important - The current service year for fortnightly brown bin collections was due to end on 4 October but the Council are extending current permits to make up for the service being temporarily suspended in springtime due to the crisis. The crisis also means that the Council are encouraging residents to register online and they have now made this easier by making the use of MyGov optional.
Unfortunately, you’re not able to pay in person at locality offices this year as they are being used as community resilience centres for the crisis, but you can also pay over the phone. The charge will remain at £25.
Once paid, the Council will send you a new garden waste calendar and a permit sticker between 23 October and 4 November. There will be another opportunity to sign up to the new service year, but the payment will remain at £25 and permits will be valid until 7 November 2021.
