Thank you to everyone who got in touch about the frustrating closure of the vital bridge at St Mark's Park. This is a lifeline route for the community on both sides and has massive impacts on access to the park, walking, cycling, the school & local businesses 1/3

"Our future lies in a stronger, deeper partnership with the European Union." In Ed Miliband's speech at Labour Conference, he made the point that Europe is more than just our geography, it is how we pursue our values and build our alliances, and that the UK is stronger with others.

Secure on-street cycle storage is vital for tenement-dwellers. Some of our residents have been on waiting lists for over 6 years. Provision in our area is very limited. We welcome the 20 new cycle hangars which will be installed in the next 2 years, but they will simply not be enough to meet demand.

Demand for spaces in cycle hangars in Edinburgh has increased by 2,700 (50%) in the last 12 months. After adjusting for duplication across waiting lists, I estimate that around 7,000 people currently want a spot in one - but Edinburgh Council only provide 1,500 spaces. rpubs.com/edtiss/hangars

Somewhat far-fetched claims about what people cd save on long journeys; in reality you’d use the good ScotRail (formerly SPT) rail network for those trips, but bus wd fill in the gaps. Anyone using both probably already has a multi-mode ZoneCard. But making public transport more affordable is good!

Good points made by the community council. Both planned tramline extensions wd be very useful, but if funding or other reasons necessitate doing only one at a time, the Granton line via the railway corridor (and properly designed to share with the cycleway) is surely the line to prioritise first.

Portobello Swim Centre to remain closed until at least next week
Portobello Swim Centre remains closed on Monday after shutting its doors to swimmers last week. A sign outside the front door says it has closed "due to unforeseen circumstances". Edinburgh Leisure has confirmed that the problem is the heating system has failed, meaning there is no heating in the building or to heat the pool. The Facilities team is working on fixing the problem. A spokesperson for Edinburgh Leisure said: "Portobello Swim Centre will remain closed until further notice, and all activities and operations are suspended. A further update will be provided on 7 September."
