A. *******.<br /> <a href="http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/385/cycling_in_edinburgh/542/cycling/3"><br /> I notice that on this page</a> it doesn't suggest locking your bike to one of the many bike racks helpfully and thoughtfully placed by the council around our fair city at convenient locations. I wonder why that could be? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1319#post-13147 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 00:08:30 +0000 Cyclingmollie 13147@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The development of a new museums and galleries website for Edinburgh has been the reason for my twice weekly commute. But our funding came from MGS, a national body, to promote collections Edinburgh holds which are of national significance. So the site will only be 5% funded by Edinburgh council tax payers. It launches in November. I've not checked out my Web Team colleagues' work yet. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=1319#post-13145 Tue, 14 Sep 2010 23:57:19 +0000 chdot

That's by far and away the highest spend in Scotland (for those reporting) and the 3rd highest per-capita behind our smaller neighbours of East and West Lothian.</p> <p>Has anyone here been benefiting from this generous investment? I for one would rather have had my 50 pence invested in something more tangible and worthwhile (after all, the website is still a load of un-navigable &lt;insert expletive here&gt;).</p> <p>Now I can see why as of this morning they've desperately started trying to collect council tax from 4 years ago that I didn't pay when I was a student (because I was a student) - a year after I finally thought it had all been put to bed and sorted by making a trip into cooncil chambers armed with degree certificates and letters from the university. </p>
