Match Day Road Closures Sat 28 December 2024

Information from Edinburgh Rugby for local residents:

Road closures

You will see attached the TTRO in place for the 1872 fixture, as well as a road closure map.

Edinburgh Rugby will work closely with a number of event delivery partners including Crexcell Traffic Management company, City of Edinburgh Council and Police Scotland to ensure any road closures are only implemented for the minimum time necessary. Please plan ahead as roads are open during the games. Please see the advertised timings of road closures and plan ahead – roads will re-open during the games. The TTRO is also published on the City of Edinburgh Council website and attached to this email.

None of the road closures impact an emergency situation being attended to – if you experience an emergency on match day and need access to a closed road (emergency only) please approach the nearest steward, traffic management official or police officer at the road closure or contact 999.

Important to note also that buses will go on their usual diversion throughout the event day.

Contacting us on match day

We want to hear all feedback. Earlier this year, we introduced an online form, which you can click on and feed back at the time, and it will be picked up by part of our Customer Services team. It’s exclusively for local residents and will go direct to the Events team within the command post at Scottish Gas Murrayfield, where all the agencies and partners for the match are stationed.

The system is robust as it has been used for other events, and you can select whether what you’re getting in touch for is important at the time or something that we can look into post-match.

There are categories from which to choose and although a new system, it is one we hope will be useful for residents and event management alike.

The feedback form will be live from the night before the match and the full day of the match itself, and you can access it here: https://ask.scottishrugby.org/hc/en-gb/requests/new?ticket_form_id=12353436990492

Edinburgh Rugby and Scottish rugby are appreciative of the communication relationship that we enjoy with local residents and ahead of next year’s Six Nations, Scottish Rugby will once more hold a residents’ meeting, likely at the tail end of January.
