I reported one approx a week ago that is not yet fixed. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5514#post-59000 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 00:49:18 +0000 chdot 59000@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Spokes doesn't have "officials" so the one hour pothole threat is just an inflated version of the 45 minute claim...</p> <p>There are still some councillors who can make (some) things happen by 'phoning the right person - but it's more likely to be things like litter and snow clearing than potholes. </p> <p>Certainly doesn't extend to repainting ASLs or cycle lanes! </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5514#post-58999 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 00:33:09 +0000 Instography 58999@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Anyone got the number of this potholes hotline? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5514#post-58998 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 23:49:37 +0000 gembo 58998@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Can't quite work out what the commenter [with the Polish sentence as a handle putting our own monikers to shame] is taking issue with - if someone has a hotline [clarence plus] to have potholes fixed is that not useful to everyone?, indeed saves you the bother [tho of course some of the potholes might not affect you directly they will still be helpfully repaired for the benefit of all road users]. Having such a hotline might make you feel smug but how is it linked to your conscience?</p> <p>He does seem very logical tho in his arguments [check out this fallacy]</p> <p>Of note is the fact that the usual crowd of lycra lovers haven't been on here shouting me down or calling me fat etc. Makes me wonder if I have hit a nail on the head ? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5514#post-58975 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 17:57:35 +0000 Wilmington's Cow 58975@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>It's <a href="http://www.scotsman.com/edinburgh-evening-news/transport/mound_reopens_as_trams_works_shift_to_next_phase_1_2147684?commentspage=1#commentsSection">here</a> DaveC. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5514#post-58974 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 17:44:21 +0000 steveo 58974@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Its just the usual moron commentators... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=5514#post-58972 Thu, 01 Mar 2012 17:25:42 +0000 DaveC 58972@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Do you have a link to the peice please?

However, those of us who have had to suffer the terrible state of Edinburgh's roads, would LOVE to have a "hotline" to CEC's transport convemer, and have any pot holes or other defects they noticed ,fixed within an hour of a phone call. However, here we have an example of a SPOKES official having just such a facility. Her smugness is truly sickening BTW, and her lack of conscience even more staggering</em>" </p>
