A PILOT scheme on the Meadows that has seen paved slab areas introduced in a bid to cut down on the amount of grass areas burnt by barbecues could be rolled out across the city.

Possible budget friendly alternative to scorched grass? Of course, use and enjoyment of said product is still dependent on the appropriate weather.

My inner sceptic thinks it's not nearly high enough off the ground to avoid killing the grass below it, even if it doesn't insta-scorch it

We got one of these on sale last year and (duh) didn't notice the 'legs' (which fold under) until this July, at which point it had been used a lot! We just put it on an old broken roof slate, which unfortunately was 'cleared up' after some roofing (they didn't realise it was from a previous job), at which point we put it on a plank of wood. thin, but effective, and no balancing issues.
Our BBQ okay for 2, but a bit too small for any serious cooking. this one says it has two height of grill, so may be more sophisticated than ours.

regardless of BBQs
I never understand why they dont lay on extra bins on days like today
tomorrow morning the Meadows bins will be over flowing with rubbish
why not whack some big bins out and save the hassle of clearing up the next dy?Posted 12 years ago # -
Half the problem is they put the slabbed areas where nobody wants to sit.
(Like next to a busy road)
Maybe we should shut the road...

"Maybe we should shut the road..."
Been on my list for a while.
'Realistically' could only be between Marchmont Road and Argyle Place because of bus routes.
Would be worth doing every Sunday (to start with).

It's also used a lot by ambulances to 'cut across' the city. TBH, I think it's a pretty good route for the ambulances.
Can you imagine the Hootsman headline if CEC tried to shut it?
The answer is to have a system where the road is blocked to through traffic except emergency vehicles.

They do (although seemingly never enough!). And they've recently installed quite a few large new fixed bins. Some people are just too lazy and inconsiderate to carry their rubbish the 50m or so to the nearest bin, or to carry it home if that is full.
