Not sure if you can move A board on to premises of owner if it blocks your way? sallyhinch on "We Walk, We Cycle, We Vote" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15492&page=4#post-269944 Sun, 17 Dec 2017 00:52:27 +0000 sallyhinch 269944@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ @unhurt - Stuart Hay of Living Streets (@streetwurrier on Twitter) can likely help. I don't see why it's too high level - it's absolutely their core business.

A communication with The Spurtle included a P.S. from them about whom one might ask about pedestrian-inconveniencing A-boards (relocation of). Living Streets seem a bit too high-level... Anyone tweeting about pavement clutter I should be following? fimm on "We Walk, We Cycle, We Vote" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15492&page=4#post-248669 Thu, 04 May 2017 09:51:52 +0000 fimm 248669@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Finally twittered at the 3 or 4 of my candidates that are on twitter last night. Bit late really. At least they'll know they have a voter who is interested in these things...

They *should* have received (by one means or another) a survey from us, which we're keen for them to fill in, but simply emailing you (and copying us in) with their positions on the three asks will do as well. @Klaxon - I'm learning that there is no end to the slipperiness of (some) politicians in wriggling out of a straight answer to a straight question!

What you're wanting to get is a straightforward answer to the question "Do you agree with WCV's Three Asks?", right? chdot on "We Walk, We Cycle, We Vote" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15492&page=4#post-246347 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 22:18:55 +0000 chdot 246347@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ "I realise, looking at other people's campaigns that we're in a minority of one on this though" Good thing too. sallyhinch on "We Walk, We Cycle, We Vote" http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=15492&page=4#post-246345 Fri, 07 Apr 2017 22:07:09 +0000 sallyhinch 246345@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ Hmm. I've avoided having a boilerplate text for sending to candidates because my feeling is that they turn people off (I know I got really annoyed last year when Labour party candidates all started sending us word-for-word identical emails, topped and tailed with a little personal anecdote about the time they went to Holland). I realise, looking at other people's campaigns that we're in a minority of one on this though ...
