Solidarity. Always hear plenty about anti-social behaviour from young folk & forget adults are guilty of anti-social behaviour on a daily basis. Speeding, engine idling, fireworks, pavement parking, smoking at the school gates, not being able to put rubbish in bins properly, fly tipping etc…

A thank you to Rev Bob Henderson, Chaplain to the Forces, for a moving and thoughtful memorial service this morning. It was lovely to see such good attendance with everyone paying their respects. Ray Donnelly laid a wreath on behalf of LCC and looked impeccable doing so.

Now the mattress has gone we’ve raised a job to have the area cleaned and the actual rubbish that is blowing everywhere removed. Efficiency saving opportunities are abundant in how CEC manage the environment. Where’s Elon when you actually need him? Ref: 102000005105

- Residents incredulous that again the hedge completely blocking a Redhall Grove school pavement has still not been cut back by @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social . Shameful the amount of time and resource our community & @rosssmckenzie.bsky.social have spent chasing! Just get it cut already. 🤬🤬/5

- Bollards/tactile paving/red coloured chips coming to vehicle entrance to school to highlight priority to school pupils. Incredibly @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social cannot paint a zebra crossing here because of @transportscotland.bsky.social policy. Totally Nuts! 👎/3

Update from Road Team:
We will be carrying out permanent carriageway repairs in Redhall, Longstone and various others locations in the South West locality, starting in January. The works at Redhall will most likely be in February to tie in with the school holidays.
