I'm all for high tech industries to diversify our economics in Edinburgh away from finance, but a neo Edinburgh Park fills me with horror. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14566#post-302911 Tue, 12 Mar 2019 10:53:51 +0000 chdot 302911@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>“</p> <p>Mr Watson was highlighting the opportunities of Crosswind at MIPIM, the world’s largest event for property developers and investors in Cannes, which is also being attended by council leader Adam McVey, deputy Cammy Day and chief executive Andrew Kerr to promote other sites in the Capital, including the Waterfront, Bioquarter and Granton gasholder.</p> <p>“</p> <p><a href="https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/business/ambitious-plans-unveiled-for-tech-city-at-edinburgh-airport-1-4887590" rel="nofollow">https://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/business/ambitious-plans-unveiled-for-tech-city-at-edinburgh-airport-1-4887590</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14566#post-281042 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 12:31:17 +0000 Ed1 281042@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://edinburghmovielocations.wordpress.com/2015/07/18/west-granton/" rel="nofollow">https://edinburghmovielocations.wordpress.com/2015/07/18/west-granton/</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14566#post-281024 Wed, 25 Apr 2018 10:54:31 +0000 crowriver 281024@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"a lot can be done in as little as 32 years."</p> <p>I find much to agree with in your wry comment.</p> <p>However I note that Oxgangs, Wester Hailes, Sighthill, Saughton, Pilton, Muirhouse, Craigmillar, Bingham, Northfield are still waiting for their museums and galleries after more than 32 years. Sometimes these things take a little longer, perhaps. Or maybe they're behind the queue with the likes of East Craigs, Gilmerton, Gracemount, Drylaw, South Gyle, Newcraighall and Millerhill being in pole position for the imminent construction of museums and galleries. Coming soon to a residential area near you! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14566#post-280986 Tue, 24 Apr 2018 18:58:33 +0000 Blueth 280986@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I think you're being too harsh - a lot can be done in as little as 32 years. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14566#post-280932 Tue, 24 Apr 2018 10:03:22 +0000 davidsonsdave 280932@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Houses, yes maybe, but museums, galleries and community hubs (plural)?

Shows one of the shortcomings of inferring too much from a postcode district; yes EH7 is Bellevue but equally it's the south end of Leith and as far east as Meadowbank.</p> <p><em>Royal Mail said the study, conducted by the Centre for Economic and Business Research, looked at green spaces, affordable housing and commuting times.</em></p> <p>The "survey" is probably being defeated by these postcodes which have lots of "nice" places to live, good greenspaces and yet also lots of cheaper housing stock and are also close to town. EH5 and EH7 both tick that by spanning a big range of demographics and housing types and have good access to the city centres. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14566#post-183985 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 16:26:12 +0000 Nelly 183985@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Has the EEN finally just resorted to regurgitating all press releases that cross its front door??</p> <p>Whether they include Trinity, Inverleith or whatever, it still looks like a press release dressed up as a survey - Royal Mail probably got their own operatives to fulfil it........ </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14566#post-183983 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 15:58:01 +0000 kaputnik 183983@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Well that photo is at least 11 years old with that gas holder in it!</p> <p>EH5 does notionally cover the old parish of Granton (which was outwith the Burgh of Edinburgh until 1920).</p> <p>You'd think the person copying/pasting the Royal Mail's press release might have had the local nouse to determine the difference between Pilton and Granton from Inverleith and Trinity. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14566#post-183979 Mon, 23 Mar 2015 15:38:20 +0000 chdot 183979@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/granton-most-desirable-area-in-edinburgh-1-3726074" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/granton-most-desirable-area-in-edinburgh-1-3726074</a></p> <p>Well, EH5 - which isn't <em>quite</em> the same thing! </p>
