WOL path is closed at that bit that day.</p> <p>@gembo no the only diversion off the path was through the illegal gatement. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20343&page=2#post-352281 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 22:58:15 +0000 gembo 352281@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks @urchaidh but no need to go back up to Lanark road and back down </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20343&page=2#post-352279 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 21:20:41 +0000 urchaidh 352279@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Not yet, still two short diversions today - one through the illegal gates and one round the site near the Dell.

I don't see how this is complying with the enforcement notice to reinstate the original condition but anyway. Are they being part-time closed? Should planning be asked to open a new enforcement? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20343#post-352120 Fri, 25 Jun 2021 20:35:00 +0000 steveo 352120@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Yeah thats the guys.

I was half wondering about trying to crowd fund an injunction (maybe along accessibility lines).</p> <p>It's awkward to see a councillor praising them for obeying the law. I assume ignorance rather than anything untoward, although you never know. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20343#post-337653 Fri, 18 Sep 2020 09:18:30 +0000 neddie 337653@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Original thread for reference:</p> <p><a href="http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18466" rel="nofollow">http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=18466</a></p> <p>Notice the beautiful nice smooth road versus the muddy gravel track. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20343#post-337649 Fri, 18 Sep 2020 08:41:56 +0000 I were right about that saddle 337649@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>So this guy is trying to do what the Milton Road private golf course guy did? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20343#post-337547 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 19:44:19 +0000 gembo 337547@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@urchaidh yes eastern path he cleared but western path he made. Little spur from the road he stole. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20343#post-337546 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 19:01:50 +0000 urchaidh 337546@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo I'll defer to your local knowledge, but I'm fairly sure the path to the east is marked on maps from before the development, and included on the planning application drawings as outwith the sit boundary.</p> <p>The path to the west certainly predates the application, though it was little more than a desire line when work started. I think it had been a better track previous to that. The developer certainly did improve it when they tried to close off the other access. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20343#post-337544 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 18:02:03 +0000 gembo 337544@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@urchaidh, he did build them as part of his attempt to create the gated community. It is not fully gated as you can see in all the windows from the path. But he has stiolen what was a public route.</p> <p>The issue is that he did not build the new paths to a sufficient standard and was therefore required to open the gates but has hitherto declined. Cllr W should know this - the planning dept. have the records.</p> <p>He also owns all the waste ground to the west and what is going on there is quite mysterious. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20343#post-337543 Tue, 15 Sep 2020 17:45:58 +0000 urchaidh 337543@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Being interested in access issues, and having odd gaps during the day waiting for tests to run, I exchanged a few emails with Cllr W*bb*r about her misinformed tweet. I tried to point out that no landowner permission is required for any of those paths on the diversion, but she now claims the developer built most of them (A, B and E on the diagram) and we should be grateful.</p> <p><img src="https://i.imgur.com/PwDc5Ag.png"></p> <p>I didn't bother with the pointless cyclists dismount thing though she did bring it up, clearly quite pleased with herself. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20343#post-337425 Sun, 13 Sep 2020 19:35:49 +0000 I were right about that saddle 337425@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>That is deeply satisfying to know, thanks. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20343#post-337424 Sun, 13 Sep 2020 19:31:19 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 337424@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@iwrats - certainly mutual - we flat inhabitants were often regaled with your latest escapades over a Friday night curry in the Himalaya.

Also met a guy when I was maybe 20 in Dunoon who had cycled there. Mad I thought there is a decent ferry but now I see the error of my ways. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=20343#post-337413 Sun, 13 Sep 2020 18:23:00 +0000 I were right about that saddle 337413@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>@gembo</p> <p>Yes the Rest and be Thankful washed away again and the rain was making the automobile hard to control fully.
