Cramond Beach Car Park & Toilets: £2M Upgrade Vote

0:00It's April 5th, I'm Cory with the story, and this is Edinburgh News today, local news powered by AI. Edinburgh counselors are eyeing up to 2 million pounds to fix up the Craymon beach car park. Right now, it's just an unpaid lot with no markings, handling heavy traffic on peak days. The plan calls for paving it over and adding lines to squeeze in, 30 more cars, jumping capacity from 120 to 150. Most of the cash would come from new parking fees there, with about 1.47 million pounds borrowed against future revenue. The rest might pull from the council's budget since grants or lottery funds look tough to snag. Locals have been vocal about the site's issues, especially the beat up public toilets that aren't wheelchair friendly and can't keep up with crowds. Those rundown facilities are blocking folks from fully enjoying the beach. On top of the parking upgrade, 450,000 pounds would build fresh toilets with changing places setups, unisex stalls, baby changing, spots, CCTV watch, energy saving lights, and even

1:04a green roof for eco vibes. Councilors vote on all this at their full meeting this Thursday, February 20th, so keep an eye on how it shakes out for Kramer's summer crowds.
