Although the EN didn't mention it, the folk who were present at the CC meeting on Monday night voiced some concern about the suitability of the site considering the subsidence problems experienced in that area. Still you won't be worried about that, will you bearcub, when you are getting thrown about on the Big Bomber ...or will you ? :twisted:

My wife and youngerst son (15), along with my wifes sister and her 3 kids attended the Grand opening of the funfair at the old Scottish power site last night. Apparently the atmosphere was very volatile with a number of skirmishes at the fair. My nephew was knocked over by youths barging past and when my sister in law remonstrated with the yobs she was subjected to a barage of threats and abuse.

On their way along porty high street they witnessed a gang fight right outside the police station with not a copper in sight. There was around 70 - 100 youths involved.

Cars were vandalised all over the place and a van was overturned in brighton place also. Youths were forcing their way onto the 21 bus outside little acorns to fight with other teenagers on the bus. It must have been terrifying for those elderly and not so old on the bus. The driver was powerless to stop this gang.

Do we really want all this nonsense and trouble on our doorstep ?

It now seems that any of us, regardless of age, are fair game for these thugs.

That sucks big time. Its like a curse on the neighbourhood.

Don't think BL Developments will have won many friends allowing it on the SP site.

(KR I am surprised that you have kids so old. the internet plays funy tricks, I had you as aged 24 or so.)

Well done Porty for the excellent and sensible response to Jamesie. I have got a fantastic view of the big wheel from my front garden and I will probably take a wander round the funfair tonight to soak up the ambience. Portobello is a seaside resort and for the next week we have a top class funfair to enjoy. Gangs of youths fighting and being neddish in Portobello? It's nothing new and it certainly will not keep me indoors hiding behind the sofa. It's springtime and youngsters of all species are posturing and claiming territory. It's also the school holidays and it's getting lighter at night so of course there are going to be more people around. I have lived in the centre of Portobello for 14 years now and I can honestly say that I have never felt threatened or intimidated here so I don't feel like panicing just yet.
