Sir Harry Lauder Road: Junction to be closed for protest

The road will be closed from 9.30 am to accommodate the Honk for Hope protest

Sir Harry Lauder Road will be closed on Thursday to accommodate the Honk for Hope protest.

The road between the junction at Portobello Road to the Milton Road crossroads will be closed from 9.30 am.

Lothian buses have warned that there will be delays as the protest moves towards the city.

The Honk for Hope protest is a movement drawing attention to the coach industry and the impact that coronavirus has had.

Initially starting in Europe, the movement has gained momentum across the United Kingdom.
