We are experiencing increased safety issues relating to vehicles parking in and around Meadowbank Sports Centre. We are now at a critical point where London Road, and the access road between London Road and our car park, routinely have an unacceptable number of illegally parked vehicles on them. This not only poses a significant risk to both drivers and pedestrians, it also means that emergency vehicles cannot reliably access the centre.
At this time, there are no plans to increase our car park, but we have added double yellow lines within our car park to discourage illegal parking. We are also in the process of installing a new car park management system. In the meantime, the City of Edinburgh Council will be increasing traffic enforcement officers in the London Road area, including the access road into Meadowbank Sports Centre.
We would be grateful if customers considered the availability of parking at Meadowbank Sports Centre and in the local area, particularly at peak times, when planning their visit.
