I rarely go past without there being a lorry parked there (and outside the florists further along). </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18060#post-258638 Tue, 29 Aug 2017 14:12:23 +0000 threefromleith 258638@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I must try to remember to take a shot of the shattered, trip-hazard that once was a pavement outside Sainsbury's Local on Bernard Street. </p> <p>Regularly parked on by delivery artics and customer vehicles, the paving has been well and truly wrecked. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18060#post-258526 Mon, 28 Aug 2017 16:33:16 +0000 piosad 258526@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>But of course. After all the public purse will pick up the tab if/when the Meadows to Canal route goes through there. Or pigs fly. Whichever comes first. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18060#post-258522 Mon, 28 Aug 2017 16:12:33 +0000 neddie 258522@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@Tuylar.</p> <p>Sure, it looks like the underlying weakness in the first pic is due to poor backfilling by contractors.</p> <p>Ultimately though, it was cars and vans being driven on to an area that is for pedestrians/cycles only that has caused the tiles to sink. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18060#post-258483 Mon, 28 Aug 2017 09:28:38 +0000 davidsonsdave 258483@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The contractors <a href="http://c-c-g.co.uk/">CCG Construction</a> drove cranes and large heavily laden flat bed lorries over this footpath for months destroying a large number of the paving slabs. They have now bodged it rather than replacing what they have damaged. Building Futures indeed! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18060#post-258418 Sun, 27 Aug 2017 09:49:22 +0000 Tulyar 258418@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That's not vehicles that's poor reinstatement by utilities who have destroyed the load spreading structure of the road foundations and piled in type 1 aggregate which can migrate down (and out) into the surrounding soils if just dumped into the trench (but that's what the council spec allows) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18060#post-258308 Fri, 25 Aug 2017 13:06:03 +0000 neddie 258308@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>...being driven/parked on them.</p> <p>Put all your examples of pavement damage here.</p> <p>Lochrin Place - used as an illegal parking lot by constructors:</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/XDD9cX"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4365/36525579341_b5dc21f150.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/XDD9cX">Untitled</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bonsai_bonus/">Ed</a>, on Flickr</p> <p><a href="https://flic.kr/p/XfT64b"><img src="https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4358/36268020900_9b153eaa6a.jpg"></a><a href="https://flic.kr/p/XfT64b">Untitled</a> by <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/bonsai_bonus/">Ed</a>, on Flickr </p>
