Historic Environment Scotland (HES), which manages Holyrood Park, is asking the public their views on the future of the 650-acre park in the centre of Edinburgh. The survey asks people how they currently use the park and what they think of HES's strategic plans. One of the key issues is a proposed ban on through traffic to make it safer for walking and cycling. HES says a car ban would improve people's experience of the park, but others claim it would mean congestion and increased pollution elsewhere.
Deadline: Tuesday, December 19.
