@virginmedia @Kthomxx Timescale has now been updated to 10am tomorrow. It just keeps being pushed back and it means vulnerable customers have no way of communicating with the alarm team, family or emergency services. Please let me know how to escalate this. Thanks.

[Lindsay Paterson @LSPaterson]

@virginmedia @Kthomxx It’s the same issues as described above - no service on landline, broadband and TV in EH4 and constantly increasing timeline for repairs. The issue has been known about for at least 28 hours on the service status checker. It’s not just inconvenient, this is a safety issue. Thanks

[Lindsay Paterson @LSPaterson]

@virginmedia @Kthomxx This is a serious issue for those in EH4 who rely on community safety equipment as they have had no phone line and no way to summon help if required since yesterday. Is something actually being done to rectify the fault? It is not clear at all from the communication. Please help.

@euandavidson @steven94glasgow @edinhelp @2wheels2dex Thanks Euan- I am also following this thread - I asked Scottish Rugby and 2pm is their view as well.

[Friends of Dalry Cemetery @DalryCemetery]

Friends of Dalry Cemetery were incredibly excited at the prospect that the £12.5m Union Canal to Roseburn linkup might bring more foxes, rabbits, and even badgers or hedgehogs to the cemetery.

But then we saw how that building work was executed. Every tree that stood, every insect that crawled, razed to the ground.

Now we learn that we’ll be linking to nothing but more paving, and concrete. That is exactly what will happen to the Roseburn Path. Not a single plant or animal will be left alive when the works proceed. We can never undo that.

Trams should not come at the expense of an existing world-class nature corridor - with bats, hedgehogs, owls, and badgers, all protected species, throughout - and an extremely popular active travel route. If we must have more trams, let them take space from cars. Less car use is the goal.

If there are genuine concerns about the safety of the Roseburn Path, at night, then let us have a reasonable discussion about lighting provision. Lights cost less than tramlines. Stop letting lack of existing lighting be an argument for destroying.

If the object is to fight the climate & biodiversity crisis, we can’t continue cutting down trees and destroying greenspace to do it.

None of the reports have quantified the mental health benefits of being in nature, that will be lost to hundreds of thousands of people, because those can’t be quantified.

Clearly the Roseburn option is preferred because it is anticipated to be less expensive. But only in monetary terms. Not in terms of the quality of the city, the physical and mental health of its inhabitants, and the wellbeing of its nature.

Take one walk along the Roseburn Path and another along Leith Walk and tell me in your heart of hearts that this plan, with walkers put next to 40mph trams and cycling actively discouraged, would be an improvement. Destroying the Roseburn Path will cheapen and sterilise Edinburgh. I beg you not to let that be the Council’s legacy.
