Talk Porty ~ Portobello

Wangi,

A Highway engineer will tell you that the road surface is the pavement and thet the pavement is actually the footway

fresian

Read the article in the EEN on 20/4/13 regarding the PCC. Not sure who the forum poster GNR is, but seems to be someone on PCC, and to suggest that the community has gone down the sewer really highlights the contempt that these people have against anyone who disagrees with them.

fresian

Take it he is aware of his duties under HASAWA. May be worth contacting the HSE about it. Hopefully he'll be forced to get someone competent to do the work

fresian

At least this is another instance where the elected Planning Committe have overturned the recommendations of the Planning Department... I love it when that happens

fresian

Good news that the planning committee has ignored the advice of the planning officials and given the go ahead for a new cinema at Fort Kinnaird.

fresian

Sorry, spelling error. I blame my old english teacher....Oh yes, that was our very own John Stewart.

fresian

Interesting that the CC apparently represents 11737 people, and when 12000 pepole make their voices known and 75% of these want the school built, surely the CC will have to listen.

fresian

You mean DC didn't object to the overprovision of restaurants on Brighton Place??

fresian

That depends if a traffic impact analysis costs more than a broon envelope

fresian

This has actually been promoted by the organisers of "Big Things on the Beach" to encourage the public to get involved in public art. What you are doing is not so much dancing with danger, but rather, it is a paradigm of self expression and discovery through body movement. You are, unwittingly demon...

fresian

DC won't know which way to turn, although I reckon PAL has a better ring to it than PASL.

fresian

Just have to hope Mouchel are not involved in any school projects in Edinburgh

fresian

Apparently it is being promoted by PCC and PPAG as a warning as to what we can expect around the rest of Porty if a new school is built on the existing dog toilet.

fresian

"they could have called her PAM"

Portobello Against what exactly?????/

fresian

Just realised John Stewart was my English Teacher at Firrhill. Took the P*** out of him back then as well

fresian

So not the Claire Simmons,(Different spelling but strangely similar) who lives with Mike Bridgeman

fresian

The document list on CECs planning portal does have a compiled list of those for and those against. Stephen's e mail is filed in the wrong one. You have to wonder about openness when certain people send in their own objections and then bombard the council with the same thing under a number of differ...

fresian

Lg, The way things are going, the first kids to use the Toddler Hut, may also be the first ones to attend the new high school.

fresian

LG, surfing on the beach? Given that the surfers in a certain Aussie Soap are portrayed as a nasty bunch, we could see objections from the chairwoman of PANS and her poodle.

fresian

Noticed one of the 44 objections is actually Stephen McIntyre's letter of support. A number of the others are worded in exactly the same way, so have obviously come from the same source, but with their friends putting their names to them. There are a few others, and taking account of the, dare I say...

fresian

McDryburn,

Do you mean like a vote of no confidence. Not sure how this could be taken forward, possibly a petition???

fresian

Good luck, I hope all goes well.

fresian

Another interesting shot

fresian

LG, It was nice to see such a well balanced report, DC gets a mention, including her usual spin, yet no mention of your representation to the committee.

fresian

All the members of PPAG and PCC who have done so much to protect our green space and ensure that dog walkers will always have space to roam

fresian

"Our current project is to design a conceptual house to encompass the key features of Portobello", You're having a laugh... Nothing gets built here without the say so of the inner cabal..

fresian

Whyever not????

fresian

This actually stinks worse than Seafield. I wonder when this was set up? and for what purpose? i.e will it disappear once the high school issue has been finalised.

fresian

Porty: One striking detail is the response to St John's Parent Council's survey of their community. You will recall that in the days when Alison Connelly ran the show and had months to garner community opinion, the parent council managed to get about 6 responses, the contents of which were never rev...

fresian

Wangi,

I reckon the orange "Local" on the maroon background is definately not in keeping with the rest of Porty.

fresian

lg wrote Who would that one objector be pray tell - do tell!?

Someone who already has an acronym for Portobello Against Sleazy Saunas

fresian

Why don't they just open a Sauna on the site instead. At least they will only have one objector to deal with!!!

I am currently involved with helping Loch Lomond National Park achieve Dark Sky status. Perhaps we should try the same with Portobello.
