I think it's a rather nice and novel approach - mostly as it gets the issue of potholes into the press, but also because I am at heart about 12. </p> jdanielp on "Meanwhile in Manchester..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14739#post-187170 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 13:36:41 +0000 jdanielp 187170@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Good effort! It would appear that the council aren't spending much money 'fixing' the potholes in any case whilst failing to clean the graffiti based on the last couple of pictures so not convinced by their arguement. </p> fimm on "Meanwhile in Manchester..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14739#post-187161 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 13:05:08 +0000 fimm 187161@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I did think this would be a good way of using up my left-over PoP pavement chalk... </p> dougal on "Meanwhile in Manchester..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14739#post-187153 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 12:11:47 +0000 dougal 187153@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>"Not only is this vandalism, but it’s also counter-productive," the spokesman said. "Every penny that we have to spend cleaning off this graffiti is a penny less that we have to spend on actually repairing the potholes."</em></p> <p>So the money that they aren't spending on cleaning off the graffiti that washes away naturally was previously not being used to fix potholes. Got it. </p> cc on "Meanwhile in Manchester..." http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14739#post-187149 Tue, 28 Apr 2015 11:43:14 +0000 cc 187149@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>An artist has found <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/04/27/artist-penis-potholes-wanksy_n_7149810.html">an effective way to get potholes fixed</a>.<br /> (NSFW) </p>
