I hate the lights at the townhall. There is no need for them and they cause traffic chaos. They need synced or removed.

If you join this Facebook page you can see some bio's from some of the candidates:- https://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/222266831219832/ I also believe that once you get your letter through in the post you can do an online vote where if you click on the hyperlink next to the candidates name that will...

Was it busy Wangi?

Ooh this lot look angry!!!

Makaveli

Is it a butterfly points collectors league table?

Makaveli

OK - thanks for clearing that up.

Makaveli

So there is power and will be for the foreseeable future ceejam?

Makaveli

So does that mean that currently (see what I did there) there is no power running through those plyons along SHL road etc.?

Makaveli

La Favorita have a sign up today that they are coming soon to Porty.

Believe it will be open in June.

Already done it so they know my opinions on this issue!!!

But everyone else should do the same as the community needs to finally get a voice.

Makaveli

Gutted that they have done it on a day where I hadn't strimmed the front hedge and both my neighbours had!!!

Makaveli

That it's bullshit!!!

They must not be allowed to keep a stranglehold on the PCC as they have proven time and time again to not promote the will of the community. The current PHS issue highlighting just how out of touch they are!!!

Makaveli

The council have agreed to go forward with a Private Bill for PHS.

Makaveli

You are kidding Sceptic? What on earth could be the grounds for objection?

Makaveli

What's up with the people of Comley Bank?

Have we upset them or do PPAG/BYOB have contacts over there?

Makaveli

Seems the people have spoken....... http://www.scotsman.com/news/portobello-high-school-support-for-public-park-site-1-2826670 Portobello High School: Support for public park site THE local community around Portobello has voted three to one in favour of building a new Portobello High School on a pub...

Thank f*ck for that I thought something had been approved for a minute there

My bad if I raised anyone's hopes that it was granted - I must not have read the letter right this morning

Makaveli

I see that this planning application has been granted.

WTF are PAVED playing at? They are letting this school issue take their eye off the ball!!!!

Makaveli

Like checking to see if all the students at Edinburgh Uni, the punters at Waitrose.....oh and of course the pensioners that are in sheltered accommodation were FULLY aware of what they were signing?

Makaveli

I see that the planning application for the plant has been granted - so is it safe to say full steam ahead now?

Makaveli

Royston Vasey?

Makaveli

Mystery petition? Can't say I have seen it myself wonder what is on it?

Makaveli

Disgusting isn't it? They can argue the toss about common good land and all that other shite they come out with all the time but at the end of the day it is all about them not wanting it build outside their houses. This is costing us an absolute fortune and as Sceptic has rightly pointed out this mo...

Makaveli

From todays papers:- Around £170,000 of public money has been spent defending a legal challenge from a campaign group opposed to a new Portobello High School being built on a community park. Billy MacIntyre, head of resources for the council’s children and families department, revealed the figure to...

Makaveli

Porty could become the merkin producing capital of Scotland with all the spare hair lying around!!!!

Makaveli

Well prepare to believe POP....

Both Jerome and Clare wrote on a couple of web pages within hours of each other too on the same subject with the same view point - like you say it is probably one of those incredible coincidences that life throws up now and again.

Ok, I'll go first........

They've always been quite aggressive on here....now they're quiet

Aggressive? Maybe the internet is not for you if you think this forum is aggressive

Makaveli

What was the threat?

Do you know exactly what was said?

Makaveli

Never heard the word 'cyberly' used before so looked it up:-

Cyberly:-
To do anything through the internet. An explanation had to be given to the police about how a person was harassing another person through the internet, cyberly.

Makaveli

Even if you just took away the last (it may not be the last there may have been others requested since then) FOI at £8000 and gave even a 1/4 of the money to the Lightbox project then there would have been no need for the recent fund raising campaign (although I think the fundraising campaign also h...

Makaveli

There really should be a threshold where once you have asked for, say, five FOI's you then have to pay admin fees on any others as like you say Bob it does seem to become a hobby for some. I read the one that was asked for recently and the tone that was used in the letter is very much like demanding...

Makaveli

Looks like PAVED are trying to get another step forward for Portobello held back.

Sad indeed.

Makaveli

If there was a petition against the application I heard nothing of it - but then again I wouldn't have signed it anyway!!!

Wonder how the signatures were collected?
