Talk Porty ~ Portobello

Or the pavement the causeway

gillian

Very exciting!

gillian

So anyway, all this coincidence and conjecture is too much for me, are we any nearer knowing where the PCATs money ended up? Just asking.

gillian

No it doesn't. Very wrong. How do you find out these things Porty?

Are we now in a position to not let it happen again, I wonder.

gillian

Too high, too dense, not in keeping with the neighbouring Conservation Area, traffic and parking issues, blocking vistas, the use of brick... The objections are still up on the planning portal if you search for 09/01029/FUL. Good job a new school would not be too high, too dense, have traffic and p...

gillian

I know this is all history, but what sort of objections were being raised?

gillian

Absolutely agree Makaveli, and we would have an arts centre and more housing thus more people using the lovely new shops on the high street. Who did say no to all that?. Come back BL try again. Build it on Baileyfield!!! There were 60 objections which, given the scale of the development, wasn't tha...

lg1726. Well done. If the shop you spoke about is the one I think it maybe (based on the man on the phone) Then beware, look back on TPor maybe one of the fb pages to find out about the mice situation. you may not want to shop there anyway.

gillian

Cannot imagine what points a,b.c,d,e,f,g,h.i.j covered.

gillian

So, we have to know, what was your most favourite?

gillian

Sorry I seem to have lost the plot again. At what point has it been suggested that the Figgy be made bigger?

gillian

That clarifies it then!! Just pleased it's not me losing yet another marble. Thanks Wangi

gillian

Is it just me or does the TP clock change? sometimes it's at the right time and sometimes it is one hour slow. I think!

gillian

And the notably lacklustre, flat performance from Mr Hawkins

gillian

Live coverage of debate on CEC website

gillian

PPAG odd? no!

gillian

Even if PPAG woke up tomorrow and said, "ah yes, what a good idea, let them have the park" It wouldn't happen surely? It's not within their power any more?

gillian

I am beginning to feel like Portobello if left unchecked in the whats best on the conservation front is in danger of turning into somewhere like Rochester - where the locals like nothing more than making a mockery of its days of yore with its pastiche olde worlde shopfronts,festivals full of Englis...

Woodwares aren't closing.
They are retaining a portion of the store (currently paint/decoration) and the Basement and will continue trading.

gillian

Thank you seanie.

gillian

Here's what I don't understand, who is actually in the position of saying " right lets go ahead with this line of action, this is the way forward, this is what has to happen next" to get a new PHS Is it the councillors?, the lawyers? the Education Dept? Are we waiting for one person or a group of pe...

gillian

Hope they don't make you sign some secrecy clause, then you will be able to keep us all informed. Very exciting.

gillian

Deffo, go for it Ig. Great opportunity to show what is going on. Maybe just maybe, when it becomes clear how undemocratic and consultationless the situation is around here, we may get some changes.

gillian

- there are many hundreds of children who live in and around Portobello who do not have and have no intention of attending PHS no matter where it is sited. The angry exchange of words between both sides, particularly on this forum, is laughable, many people are making themselves look very stupid . ...

gillian

Betty don't start all that again. The children of Magdalene and the Christians don't use the parks. You know that, we know that. You also know that the children of Magdalene and the Christians matter as much as any child. Which is why there is the fight to get them a new school. Your new attempt to ...

gillian

....and I am, kind of!

Ah.I see you were off the day they held the, never call a child thick workshop. And you must have missed the whole debate on how the environment affects learning. No offence but I'm glad I can be fairly certain you don't teach my child.

Sorry wangi

gillian

Got 2nd year tracking report home tonight, youngest Tufty has achieved straight Excellents. Now he may be a bit of a clever clogs, but he needed the teachers to do it. Yet again the staff at Porty have delivered exactly "what it said on the tin", even though it's badly bashed from over use. =D> I'v...

How about this from the 'Save Porty Park, Facebook page: We are pleased to hear that funding has been announced for St. John's Primary School but we are concerned that Edinburgh Council may now have their eye on Brighton Park, Daisy Park or Rosefield Park as possible sites, given their central loca...

gillian

We use to have this word in our family when our children were VERY young, "stoppiting." Mum he's not stoppiting.......

gillian

Yes Wangi, have a "sort it out yourselves" page and leave them all to it.

gillian

Wouldn't it be great if they did make it work?

gillian

Me too, or more truthfully, the inclination!

gillian

Hundreds of pears in our garden after the recent winds. Good for cider maybe? if anyone could use some.

gillian

Let's not make this an Epykat/Porty/rathbone thread. We've a school to build.
