@edintravel @Jordan_forrie Still out just before 5pm.

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edinhelp can you please fix the slats again on the bridge entering St Marks Park from Broughton Road/McDonald Road junction path? Thanks.

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edinhelp who would I contact about parking issues on an unrestricted road within a permit zone? I'd like to see if restrictions can be extended to this short road too. Thanks.

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edintravel Sorry, I just meant maybe the signage wasn't enough, one of them looks like it's been propped up so it's not 100% clear and not properly blocked off. I hope drivers continuing to use it doesn't cause further damage.

@edinhelp @edintravel Mcdonald Road temporary traffic light is in darkness this morning. That'll cause issues at school drop off.

[FarmingUK @FarmingUK]

This isn’t good!

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edinhelp Bin shed sorry.

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edinhelp can you check this report please? The flytipped bicycle has not been removed and it's being chucked around our car park by kids. Thanks.

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edinhelp It's not on private land now, can you please come and get it now, same location but outside the bike shed now? Thanks.

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edinhelp Eh... So how come you empty the bins then and pick up everything else that has been flytipped over 15 years?

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edinhelp Thanks Joanne, but no bulky uplift option if you don't drive?

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edinhelp hi, how do I dispose of a storage heater in Edinburgh? It's a newer model. Can I get a bulky uplift or take it to a waste centre? Thanks.

A question about possible flat evictions for Edinburgh folks from @jimwaterson...
If you recognise the pub, the story or have any intel to share, you can contact Jim here and help him investigate: https://t.co/8DGYwgBnCq

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edinhelp It's not a road Sophie so I don't think I can? It's a footbridge over the Water of Leith which has slats of some sort of material which keep coming loose.

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edinhelp can you arrange for the slats on the St Mark's Park bridge to be fixed again please? It's the bridge you access from the path on Broughton Road opposite McDonald Road. This happens regularly so great if you can make it part of regular maintenance plan to check it please

[edith bowman @edibow]

Please spread the word. My bag was stolen today and inside was my ring with my grandads ashes in it. Please get me that CCTV @GWRHelp

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edinhelp Thanks, pretty dangerous so great if it can be a priority.

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edinhelp can this site be secured please? Footpath below South Fort Street

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edinhelp Thanks, strange cause they always used to come Sunday and Wednesday but obviously haven't been either day or bins wouldn't be full?

[Nikki Sherret @NikkiSherret]

@edinhelp bin I reported on Tuesday morning still hasn't been emptied. Ever since Christmas our bins are always full, have you changed the frequency? Blandfield EH7 4QJ
