Following on from Craigleith consultaion and the publication of the contact email of the council person, I have emailed in this:
Hello Paul,
I found your email address on CityCyclingEdinburgh forum in relation to Craigleith NEPN improvements. I’d like to suggest some drainage work off St Boswells Road on the north side, if you are the right person to contact about this, please.
I cycle along the NEPN every day on my commute in from Fife to St Andrew Sq. I notice good work has been done on drainage at the Roseburn stretch, up at Silverknowes and underneath Granton Road to help drain away flooded sections of path. I’d like to suggest the north side of the NEPN at the St Boswells junction. The path is uneven in places and the flood which happens whenever it rains forces users to move to a narrow part of the path on the south side. The water takes days to drain away and never empties in winter. Could any funds from the cycling budget be made to dig out a drainage pit where the flood is worst and then pebble infill can be placed, similar to what has been used in Silverknowes by the bridge over the path, Silverknowes Road?
Kind regards,
This section is perminantly flooded in winter, and has only just started to reduce now.
