    I had no idea about your involvement in that - the WoL walkway truly is one of the best urban walking routes I have ever used. So, thanks for that.

    Was my idea to get WoLCT to do a Millennium Bid as a direct result of the Council (can’t remember if it was still EDC or early days of CEC) putting together a ‘grand’ proposal which was, more or less, a wish list of things it couldn’t afford to do.

    Millennium Commission rules explicitly said their money (Lottery money) couldn’t be used by LAs to do things there were supposed to fund themselves - so I knew their attempt would fail.

    Focusing on the WoL had more chance…

    I wrote this https://archive.ph/frS7 (and did the design/layout - early days of DTP so I didn’t have the computer power to include photos - they had to be stuck on and the whole thing photocopied!) but not most of the rest of the document.

    It is my daily commute from Canal to Balerno section. I also use bits around St marks Park from time to time, reminds me to go see the improvements down that end. It is nt all doom and gloom. many thanks to Illustiroius Leader for spotting a market in the niche. The last Fridayy in Oct is Friday week. Is that close enough to the 15th birthday? I see we are already 15 on the side bar

    Eddie Banks, a retired engineer living in the village, said: “The alternative is if you don’t take them down, then you could lose part of your graveyard. Which one do you want? Keep three trees, or lose part of your graveyard? I know what the locals would say.”

    Mr Scott, who conceived the idea of decorating the old Colinton railway tunnel with a colourful mural, expressed concern visitors could miss out on the attraction as, while other points of access are available, smartphone maps and local signage “show that route as being open,” leading to confusion.
