Wednesday & Thursday

Attended Blackness Area Residents' Association meeting on Wednesday evening and been spending much time campaigning across the West End.
Yesterday, met with Housing Department staff at Pentland to look at the parking problems. We agreed that I will now formally request that the department carries out a feasibility study to look at options to improve the situation. There are clearly physical limitations - the steepness west of Saggar Street for example - although we did see scope for extending the turning circle area at the top end of Pentland Crescent & providing more parking. This could be done without a loss of trees.
On Saturday past I reported on the blog the damage to the bus stop opposite Clayhills Grove (see previous story by clicking on headline above) - pleased to receive following feedback from the City Council:
"Further to my last e mail the Elite solar bus stop pole that was damaged in Perth Road has been repaired and checked operational."
