On public social media they can effect a temp repair and schedule an allegedly permanent one, this on a hole repeatedly reported by the supposedly "proper" means...<br /> I should be pleased something is being done, but I'm actually pretty disgusted by the cynicism shown. Reminds me of the Ford Pinto scandal tbh. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12134#post-141415 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 11:59:25 +0000 SRD 141415@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><img src="http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7393/12234318284_3effc44ec6.jpg"> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12134#post-141413 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 11:49:26 +0000 Morningsider 141413@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This is on my commute home - the photo doesn't really do it justice, it's a monster. I've Clarenced it (again).</p> <p>It is also quite difficult to avoid due to the road layout at that point and very difficult to see in the dark. </p> <p>Scottish Power's contractors never finished reinstating the road here - they partly filled the hole, but never laid the top layer of tarmac. This sub-layers were quickly gouged out and then patched by the Council - with inevitable results. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12134#post-141403 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 11:07:48 +0000 kaputnik 141403@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The not-nearly-so-big pothole alongside Broomhouse Path has been coned off (although cones are now scattered on footway, suggesting they've been driven into!). </p> <p>While the council argues with Scottish Power about getting it repaired, at the very least it should be coned off. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12134#post-141401 Fri, 31 Jan 2014 11:02:13 +0000 cb 141401@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I was unlocking my bike from the stands at the Eric Liddle centre last night when a car exiting Chamberlain Road dropped into the pothole, lost traction then wheelspun, sending a shower of gravel/grit across the pavement.

It's a dangerous one in traffic as you may not see it until the last second and it's large/deep. I had to do a last second emergenct bunnyhop this morning, anyone with a child trailer or bike unsuitable for stunts could easily come off.<br /> As it is I'm going to have to check the back end of the Brommie for damage as the his was hard enough :-(</p> <p>Take care out there people :-/ </p>
