@DrumBraeNews @dhunter100 @Edinburgh_CC And remember we haven’t had it so good. Another shameful comment via the press.

@dhunter100 @Edinburgh_CC If the truth be told I shudder to think what @Edinburgh_CC actually believe competence and focus looks like.
English
When I said @Edinburgh_CC need to focus on the basics, I failed to specify ‘competently focus’ 🙄

Well that was 5 minutes of pothole repairing well spent 😳
English
More examples in DrumBrae of the ‘best repairs in a decade’. That’ll not even likely survive today’s forecasted rain. How difficult is it to get it right first time? 🤷♂️

@LynnHenni @Edinburgh_CC @theSpurtle @NTBCC Bin sensors not working? What’s happened to that vanity project? Oh aye abandoned after spending over £20 of public funds.
English
@streetscape33 @Edinburgh_CC What happened to the computer sensor system on communal bins that was trialled in leith, portobello and city centre around 2016 at a cost of £20k plus. What was the end result again?
English
@dhunter100 And of course the plan is to remove street bins at bus stops, not empty them. A strange policy indeed. The council needs to get back to basics. Quickly.

First flooding due to blocked drains and gullies, now cleanliness of our streets in serious decline. M
If only our Transport & Environment Convener concentrated on the basics, instead of LTNs, bollards and cycle lanes (which also make the streets harder to clean)…

@EdinburghLive_ @EdinburghRecord The money tap must be running dry now.

Thousands signed a petition against the scheme

@edinburghpaper So poor road maintenance, gulleys not cleaned, princes street gardens saga, burning of memorial benches, whistleblower court case. Feel free to add plenty more to the list.

Edinburgh council blames the freakish weather for the flooding chaos

Wow ... over £64k for maintenance so far for Spaces for People cycle lanes.
More interesting as I was asked just today who would be maintaining the planters which are also being deployed and how much that would cost? I don't know the answer to that.

@edinburghpaper @ianswansonen The total only so far, just wait till the year end. And oh the winter, will they be maintained?.

@kevin_lang And incurred costs of £65k for the cleaning and maintenance of cycle lanes via sfp vanity project. Someone better turn that money tap off.

This is good news and looooong overdue.

We’ve been working with @LivingStreetsEd reducing unnecessary street clutter across Edinburgh, and have removed: ✅ 18 large car park signs ✅ 226 bollards ✅ 139 signs and poles ✅ 300m of guardrails What a difference for 🚶♂️👩🦽! Before/after @ Palmerston Pl + Lothian Rd 👀

@Edinburgh_CC And failed badly in road maintenance. An absolute disgrace.

We've extended our consultation on designs for a Low Traffic Neighbourhood in Corstorphine – making streets safer + more comfortable to spend time in + make local trips walking, wheeling or cycling. Closing date is now 11 July. Take part:

@CllrScottArthur Maybe the current administration are planning to do away with more bins. Utterly shameful.
English
It's embarrassing to see incidents like this anywhere, but in a "Premier Park" it is shameful.
The Council needs to get the balance right between statigies & delivery.
People need to be considerate & accept cuts make it hard to deliver this service.

@edinhelp any chance of this bin in East Princes Street Gardens being emptied please? It’s been overflowing for two days. Ta.
English
@kevin_lang @Edinburgh_CC What a sorry state for a council to act. I can assure you and many others not pleasant viewing watching elected officials acting worse than bairns at the school. Roll on May.
English
Can only imagine how ridiculous today’s @Edinburgh_CC meeting is looking from the outside.
I desperately hope nobody was watching. 🙄
