Here are the contact details:</p> <p>Almond &amp; West<br /> Natalie Hoy<br /> West Neighbourhood Manager<br /> 0131 469 5198</p> <p>Leith &amp; City Centre<br /> Mike Penny<br /> City Centre Neighbourhood Manager<br /> 0131 529 7766</p> <p>Forth &amp; Inverleith<br /> Peter Strong<br /> North Neighbourhood Manager<br /> 0131 529 5005</p> <p>South &amp; Liberton &amp; Gilmerton – Craigentinny &amp; Duddingston<br /> Sarah Burns<br /> South Neighbourhood Manager<br /> 0131 529 7662</p> <p>Pentlands &amp; South West<br /> Mike Avery<br /> South West Neighbourhood Manager<br /> 0131 527 3801</p> <p>Portobello and Craigmillar -<br /> Jim Hunter<br /> East Neighbourhood Manager<br /> 0131 529 7185</p> <p>All these staff can be contacted directly by addressing the emails to first name dot second <a href="mailto:name@edinburgh.gov.uk">name@edinburgh.gov.uk</a>.</p> <p>Clearly stating that there is a hazard, and in my instance, providing a photo meant that they sent out someone to fill in the first pothole with some tar. The secound one is a collaped drain and I am supposing that it is more difficult/costly to repair. I am monitoring the second one and will drop Mike Penny another email shortly. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4042#post-42190 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 13:55:52 +0000 tarmac jockey 42190@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I emailed Sarah Burns yesterday 10.25 and noted on the way home 17.05 a temporary repair had been carried out. Although not finished the whole had been partially filled in with a quantity of tar. The second hazard had not been touched as it means altering a drain. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=4042#post-42037 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 10:09:38 +0000 tarmac jockey 42037@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Has anyone else passed the large pot hole outside the widows building? I have reported this to the relevant parties in the council. In addition to the email I have sent photos and a screen-grab of the area from satellite map. This is a particularly dangerous hazard as it is on the cycling line that runs alongside the white line that delinates the filter lane to Holyrood Park. As the bus lane is timed a lot of vechicles jump into this lane of the juction which could force you to vere left into the filter land to Holyrood Park. The clock is now ticking to see how long it takes to make this hazard safe. </p>
