Talk Porty ~ Portobello

Stephen McIntyre

Golf at Portobello Park, in terms of tee times booked has declined by 12% over the last 3 years. I cant speak for PFANS but it is clearly apparent from the councils proposal that we can have our schools if no new golf course is built. The proposal on the table does not include any money for a new co...

And this statement is based on what?

Fiction.

This is not an aside, but a genuine question for those who advocate building on the park. This is another Edinburgh Park which has quite rightly had a fair bit of cash spent on it. <img src="http://www.clanconnelly.com/portyonline/botanics.jpg"> I was there yesterday and wondered If Portobello park...

... I've only briefly skimmed this thread but my own view would be that it's a bit premature to be thinking of dispersing the proceeds left in the PCATS kitty. BL Developments seem to be behaving excellently in terms of community consultation - though I've been advised not to meet with them just no...

As you left the meeting you were handed this letter By whom? The letter was handed out by a young woman. I don't know her name, but recognised her from other meetings. From comments she made at other meetings, I believe that she is a member of the Forum and has posted on this thread. Were there als...

I want to share with you all the proposal that I put to both Stephen Hawkins who I know does represent PCATS and Robert Gatliff the chairman of Portobello Community Council. I have attempted to engage the latter in a third-party role which I believe is neccessary. To date I have heard from neither p...

Stephen McIntyre

Did (or do ) PCATS have a written down constitution? How is their committee elected? How many people are on the committee? How often do they meet? Are there minutes of their meetings? The silence is deafening. It is deafening. I have been getting stick for maligning the PCATS committee when all tha...

Stephen McIntyre

Just for clarification, would PFANS assert that Portobello High School is in a very poor state and requires to be replaced immediately? As you know, its not possible for any individual supporter of PFANS to clarify what the groups assertion may or may not be regarding the "immediate replacement" of...

Stephen McIntyre

One thing that appears to have been overlooked by those that are advocating a re-build on the existing site; the land will effectively have to be purchased and a decant paid for, which could leave a Â£13m to Â£15m funding hole.

Stephen McIntyre

Well done from Diane Finlayson. I think that's an excellent new idea, we could have 3 new schools and no housing on Portobello Park. Don't know what the roles of Brunstane and Lismore are but it shoudn't be too onerous for such a big space.

Stephen McIntyre

I'm not worried about either or all. Mods can we please move the last 4 or 5 posts relating to multiple questioning over to the mods thread?

Stephen McIntyre

Dadaist. I asked the "connelly" questin twice already, once to Dave and once to "Anyone". You appear to be suggesting that the same question twice to two or more "seperate" people is too much. I disagree but in the interests of peace. I promise I won't ask it again even although I'm not really expec...

Stephen McIntyre

I think its fair enougfh to ask Dave or indeed anyone else from the PPAG posse, if they believe the statement has integrity? (How many asking opportunities do I have left before you start pickimg on me?) Stephen - only the mods can answer that question. How's that then? Do the mods tell you when to...

Stephen McIntyre

for a large superstore, and I have heard that the original applicants, Duddingston House Properties, are involved again with other plots. It would be foolish to spend any funds remaining, that were raised primarily to employ specialists to fight the big guns, on anything other than defending the co...

Stephen McIntyre

OK. Could you not have avoided a bit of smoke and mirrors by just saying "you forgot about Figgate Park" rather than going through all this business of asking Dave if he thought Stephen's statement had integrity? I could have done, yes. However, we are having difficulty pin-pointing who is responsi...

Figgate Park is west of Portobello Park and it is as long as the Meadows. It is a great photo.

I'm just interested in your technique I guess. So, would you say that you only question the integrity of your opponents, and of statements made which you disagree with? Never really thought about it but it does seem to make sense. However, in this case, if the statement was "Portobello park is the ...

Green space is green space Bob, If Porty Park was the only piece of green space around would this then make it more valuable than the schools? Didn't you say, (and please tell me if I am wrong) that the children were more important than the park. What difference would it make if it was the last par...

So one can bring one's own clique along if one so desires?

Thanks for answering my question Bob and Epykat. I will respond later. :D :D Can't wait.... :roll: Well you just hav to. :D Can someone explain to me why Portobello Golf Club has a waiting list for membership?

Hello Plug, Well Maybe but which 33%. Will that include the surrounding trees, which cover a fair bit of the park, the part where the sewage tanks are, which cannot be built on ?. Dave, you need to listen more carefully at meetings :D I have lost count of the times Perry and Aitken have said the tr...

I donâ€™t think a large park will remain.

How about a small wager? I will bet you a large cappuccino that there will be less than 20% of the park used for housing?

BTW, I think the new schools thread has been monitored very well. With the exception of a couple of my posts which were suspended for further investigation and I heard no more about them. The mods have had to deal with, the use of multiple identities, lies, wild unsubstantiated claims, insinuations,...

Oh I see. Yes you are correct, prior to yesterdays meeting the liberal dems amendment to look at brownfield sites was accepted.

Bob can we shift this to a Moderator discussion thread. I fear there is a witchhunt going on here and you are the witch. I'm just hoping there is no connection with "Thegolfer" None at all.
