A passer-by told me it was related to the work on Bellevue Chapel. Surely they don't have the right to block the road? I've tweeted @edinhelp about it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5003#post-53007 Fri, 13 Jan 2012 20:21:23 +0000 LivM 53007@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.greenerleith.org/greener-leith-news/2012/1/13/leith-cycle-commuter-asks-council-to-improve-quilts-cut-thro.html">Greener Leith blog - Cut through from The Quilts</a></p> <p>I wrote an email to the local management team last night, re: the fiddly barrier over the road between the Quilts and West Bowling Green Street in Leith (it's on my route to work). Because I'd seen a post on Greener Leith recently about how the local management team had got the section of path nearby Tarmaced recently, I mentioned that in my email. </p> <p>I then forwarded the email to Greener Leith out of courtesy, as I'd mentioned them. They have (with my permission) posted the email on their blog, but misinterpreting my flattery to the LMT ("worked your magic to get it fixed") as flattery of Greener Leith [facepalm]</p> <p>I've asked Greener Leith to reword their post...</p> <p>Anyway, the upshot is, that access is rubbish on a bike, clatter of pedals or a ride through dogshit. I hope they can improve it with a dollop of Tarmac to make the ride nicer. </p>
