Got there and discovered that someone else had already done it, as well as cutting back a lot of other vegetation that I wouldn't have done. I presume either the council or Sustrans did it, since the clippings seem to have been taken away as well, but extra thanks if it was anyone here. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17065#post-289655 Sun, 26 Aug 2018 18:38:45 +0000 HankChief 289655@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>A large section of the East footway on Maybury Road has been scraped back to uncover the full width.

Sunday night/Monday morning's heavy rain gave the path a wash and apart from the rolled up turf, you wouldn't have known there had been growth there.</p> <p>Great effort and much appreciated. Thanks </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17065#post-234596 Tue, 25 Oct 2016 08:23:40 +0000 HankChief 234596@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>AC - it was a spur of term moment thinot rather than premeditated or I would have asked for help. </p> <p>The spade was bit small but when I got ambitious and used my snow shovel I snapped it. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17065#post-234591 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 22:36:21 +0000 acsimpson 234591@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks again. I did think you seemed to be using a rather small shovel. Let me know if you're ever doing something similar again and I'll try to be free.</p> <p>ih sadly not cycling infra yet. It should be though as I've said often enough before. Don't forget to comment on the West Craigs development if you think anyone building 1400 houses in the fields next door should be paying. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17065#post-234590 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 22:26:28 +0000 ih 234590@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Magnificent work @HankChief. Is that truly cycling infra on Maybury Road? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17065#post-234589 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 21:24:31 +0000 minus six 234589@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>good work. top shovelling </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17065#post-234587 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 20:07:33 +0000 HankChief 234587@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>2 hours for a soft office worker like me to clear 200m of path. It was a bit like rolling up old carpet.</p> <p>Was quite therapeutic to do manual labour for a change although I did get a blister and snapped my snow shovel :( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17065#post-234586 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 20:05:37 +0000 gembo 234586@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Nice bit of spade work and I thought I was doing well removing detritus on pavement between my house and my neighbour's which was paltry in comparison </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17065#post-234585 Mon, 24 Oct 2016 20:02:47 +0000 HankChief 234585@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I finally snapped at the lack of action in scraping back the undergrowth on Maybury Rd despite my &amp; others contacting CEC. I got my spade out and had a go.</p> <p>Not perfect but better than nothing and probably quicker than continuing to badger the Council.</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/Npbem4"><img src="https://c8.staticflickr.com/6/5533/30454686751_b1e29ee124_z.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/Npbem4">Before</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91842878@N03/">HankChief</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/MzciPS"><img src="https://c5.staticflickr.com/6/5719/29911705124_6970cf5bda_z.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/MzciPS">After</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91842878@N03/">HankChief</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/NpbgFK"><img src="https://c6.staticflickr.com/6/5443/30454694621_33ca37c1e4_z.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/NpbgFK">Before</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91842878@N03/">HankChief</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/NwUZY8"><img src="https://c4.staticflickr.com/6/5592/30542247035_f58a41923e_z.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/NwUZY8">After</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/91842878@N03/">HankChief</a>, on Flickr </p>
