At the recent CC meeting Stuart Smith from CEC gave us a short presentation on the Phase 2 streetscape improvents and is keen to consult with the community on the plans. Please take a look at the following drawings and post your comments here or email Stuart directly at stuart.smith@edinburgh.gov.uk

I'll leave it to Marya to spot the differences from the first set of proposals because she's good at this sort of thing.

I was disturbed to see the word 'sequoia' :shock:

appear in the description of what might replace the cherry trees, so googled the options and thought you might all like to see what we may have outside Kitcheners, come 2006.

Suggestions are the Dawn Redwood (grows to 70-100ft)

or the Crabapple (grows to 20-35 foot .....and likes full sun

)

The second option seems 'streets ahead'

IMHO.

Work has now started on Brighton Place and the first stretch of new pavement has been laid. It's looking so much smarter and I'm really keen to see what the final result will look like.

I believe that the row of Tegula pebbles will now not be laid as they were deemed by planning as inappropriate to a conservation area.

Graeme Paget also informs me that the state of the gullies are to be investigated. There have been numerous complaints (I'm not surprised!) about the vast puddles that form on Brighton Place everytime we have a reasonable amount of rain; there is a particularly spectacular one that forms down by the pedestrian crossing at the junction with the High Street. :duckie:

It is looking much better and should make a big difference once the whole lot's done

. I really hope they do sort out the puddles. On the down side I've been caught quite a few times by flying muddy water on a rainy day, but on the up side, I've seen some schoolkids deliberately standing waiting to get soaked through so they can go home :lol:

What happens to the 17 buses that go East every day and don't come back?

Is there a huge bus pile in Dunbar or something
