There is an old political tradition of burying bad news on a busy day. And yesterday was wall-to-wall coverage of The Royal Wedding so it was a good day for it.    The Edinburgh Evening News claimed yesterday that the project cash has run out and the route will now stop at Haymarket. This has, needless to say, been rejected by tie. Maybe we will get to know some proper news about the trams after the election this week? Certainly EEN say that there is to be a meeting on May 16 when the results of the mediation process will be made known.

STV Local report that hundreds of ‘Republicans’ marched down The Royal Mile yesterday to’express their discontent’ with the Royal Wedding, requiring a police presence to maintain the peace. There are  Photos on STV Local.

The cyclist who died in the Broughton Road on Thursday morning has been named as 32 year-old Craig Newton from Musselburgh, according to Broughton Spurtle.

Greener Leith have an April round-up of some of the best stories about nature this month.

Today you can go along to the Farmers’ Market on Castle Terrace for some of your shopping.  The Reporter’s favourite thing to do is to get a wee bowl of porridge and a coffee while browsing the rest of the stalls. It starts at around 9 this morning and most stalls close by about 2pm.
