Best Street was recently closed to through traffic at the St Georges Road End.
Apart from access to some new apartments, it is now just a car park.
But if Best St was closed at Alfred Crescent instead, then the whole section beside Fitzroy North Primary School could be converted to a community building.
This site has proximity to the gardens, schools and shopping village, without compromising either. A building between the historic school and Art Deco flats would be less intrusive to than a building on the gardens.
By removing International House from the Gardens, the car park is no longer required. Then the extension of Best Street into the Gardens is no longer required, and a major increase in garden area can be achieved.
There is no need to sacrifice the Edinburgh Gardens. We should be trying to improve the gardens as open space
