Also buried HT cable across the edge of the site. We must be due another planning application soon, though. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21448#post-373040 Thu, 25 Jan 2024 14:57:13 +0000 chdot 373040@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="https://www.ctallotments.com/get-involved" rel="nofollow">https://www.ctallotments.com/get-involved</a></p> <p>Is that the one that was under threat a few years ago? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21448#post-373039 Thu, 25 Jan 2024 14:48:10 +0000 chdot 373039@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Thanks </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21448#post-373037 Thu, 25 Jan 2024 13:29:00 +0000 urchaidh 373037@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>We (mostly my wife) are involved, along with a bunch of other families, in a community plot at Telferton Allotments.</p> <p>Going really well, so much so that we're probably turning down the offer of a plot for ourselves that has come up and sticking with putting all our time into the community plot.</p> <p>(We used to have our own plot at Telferton, but it was too too much work when the youngest was a toddler) </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=21448#post-373035 Thu, 25 Jan 2024 12:54:44 +0000 chdot 373035@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone involved in any?</p> <p>PM if shy. </p>
