It's not the GULAG after all (yet).</p> <p>Community payback folk did a great job building bike/scooter racks and raised beds/planters at my kids' school (carpentry skills). Also cleared an overgrown thorny hedge from the playground and planted some nice flowers and shrubs (gardening skills). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17317#post-243052 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 13:30:09 +0000 davidsonsdave 243052@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>When I suggested a similar thing in my area they responded that they really wanted tasks which would teach them new skills than just grunt work.</p> <p>I do find that reporting flytipping through FixMyStreet does get the job done, even if it does take a few weeks. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17317#post-243038 Fri, 17 Feb 2017 12:07:37 +0000 dessert rat 243038@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>well this is disappointing;</p> <p>-------------------<br /> Hi Iain</p> <p>Yes i managed to walk a short length of this path and I did witness an overwhelming amount of fly tipping.</p> <p>Unfortunately due to the amount of rubbish involved, the location of the rubbish, the nature of the work, and issues around disposing of the rubbish, i am unable to help with the task of clearing this area. I will today however try to get some information on who has responsibility for the path and its upkeep and ask them to contact you to see if they can help you get this resolved.</p> <p>I will keep you informed of my progress.</p> <p>Regards</p> <p>Billy Birse</p> <p>Billy Birse<br /> Community Payback Work Manager<br /> Safer and Stronger Communities<br /> Community Justice: Unpaid Work<br /> New Kirkgate SW Centre<br /> Unit C&amp;D, New Kirkgate Shopping Centre<br /> Edinburgh<br /> EH6 6AD</p> <p>------------------- </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17317#post-240260 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 14:00:09 +0000 chdot 240260@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This is over, but there is a contact name -</p> <p><a href="https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/hsc/cpoconsultation/consult_view" rel="nofollow">https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/hsc/cpoconsultation/consult_view</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=17317#post-240258 Thu, 05 Jan 2017 13:43:49 +0000 dessert rat 240258@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Pedaling down Innocent through Newcraighall on a daily basis it's depressing to see the amount of existing and daily newly dumped rubbish. </p> <p>This week’s highlights include the usual selection of children's’ bikes in Niddrie &amp; Brunstane Burns, a washing machine, black bin bags too numerous to count, a few mattresses, smoldering piles of burnt things etc…. </p> <p>Seems an ideal candidate for some Community Payback cleanup action.</p> <p>Anyone tried or had any success with this ? I've filled in the form on CCE, but surely the more suggestions the better.</p> <p><a href="https://www.edinburgh.gov.uk/forms/form/146/en/community_payback_unpaid_work_suggestion">Click me for a cleaner city</a> </p>
