They deal with low-level antisocial issues such as littering, cigarette butt dropping, fly-tipping and dog fouling and can hand out fixed penalty notices. I would start by reporting here;</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/20043/community_safety_and_antisocial_behaviour/308/report_dog_fouling" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/info/20043/community_safety_and_antisocial_behaviour/308/report_dog_fouling</a></p> <p>Then follow up with an email or tweet to your local community team (East team for you I think) and/or community council. That should get a bit of attendance by the wardens. Repeated reporting should get follow-ups, better attendance etc. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14534#post-183507 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 14:22:23 +0000 Edinburgh Cycle Training 183507@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I'd rather they introduced (or reintroduced) dog mess wardens. Its getting ridiculous round my way (Northfield/Mountcastle) again. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14534#post-183497 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 13:23:09 +0000 wishicouldgofaster 183497@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Another waste of money as nothing will be done to fix them. They do the same with the roads and ignore the fact they are dangerous to cycle on. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14534#post-183485 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 12:35:54 +0000 tarmac jockey 183485@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Two men/women on bikes with digital cameras could get the job done in the wink of an eye..... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14534#post-183482 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 12:20:00 +0000 Min 183482@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Scouring the pavement is probably what is causing the cracks in the first place. Brushing brings them up just fine without causing damage. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14534#post-183476 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 11:47:44 +0000 ih 183476@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Bet they scour these streets by <u>driving</u> round them. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14534#post-183467 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 11:15:15 +0000 Stickman 183467@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The council opens another front in the War On Drivers. </p> <p>Or something like that.
