@edinhelp @edinhelp All the lights were off. It has happened a lot in the past, but I thought it had been fixed a few months ago. It's a busy road, and hundreds of school children cross here.

[Esther Roughsedge @et_roughsedge]

@edinhelp The traffic lights where Drum Brae South meets Templeland Road have broken again.

[Esther Roughsedge @et_roughsedge]

@edinhelp Thanks. I've reported it to CityFibre.

[Esther Roughsedge @et_roughsedge]

@edinhelp This broadband box is damaged. It's on Belgrave Road, near the junction with Clermiston Road. I'm not sure which company owns it, or who to report it to.

[Esther Roughsedge @et_roughsedge]

@fbizinc @edinhelp Thank you!

[Esther Roughsedge @et_roughsedge]

@bt_uk Thank you!

[Esther Roughsedge @et_roughsedge]

@bt_uk This broadband box is damaged. It looks like it may have been hit by a vehicle. It is in Edinburgh, on Belgrave Road, near the junction with Clermiston Road. I don't know if it is yours, or how to find out who owns it.

[Esther Roughsedge @et_roughsedge]

@edinhelp Thank you!

@edinhelp There appears to be a blocked drain on St John's Road in Corstorphine, near the junction with Station Road. The rainwater isn't draining away.

[Esther Roughsedge @et_roughsedge]

@edinhelp Would it be possible to use the live bus tracker signs to let people know when buses have been diverted away from a bus stop? Yesterday dozens of people were waiting for buses at Shandwick Place - they didn't realise that all buses had been diverted due to the rugby.

[Esther Roughsedge @et_roughsedge]

@edinhelp Thanks!

[Esther Roughsedge @et_roughsedge]

@edinhelp These traffic lights are broken for the 3rd time this week. Please can someone investigate why they keep breaking? It's been happening for a long time, and is getting worse. It's really dangerous. Hundreds of schoolchildren cross this busy road here, during rush hour.

[Esther Roughsedge @et_roughsedge]

@edinhelp I reported these broken traffic lights again, yesterday, & someone came to fix them, but they are broken again today. The underlying problem clearly hasn't been fixed. It's really dangerous and it will get more dangerous as we head into winter, with darker mornings.

[Esther Roughsedge @et_roughsedge]

@edinhelp @edinhelp Hi Sophie, I tried phoning that number, but it put me through to Wiltshire Highways. The woman who answered said that this happens a lot! Is there a different number I can call?

[Esther Roughsedge @et_roughsedge]

@edinhelp Thank you.

@edinhelp The traffic lights where Drum Brae South meets Templeland Road keep breaking. They have broken again today. Can you try to find the underlying cause? It's really dangerous, at a place where hundreds of schoolchildren cross a busy road.

[Esther Roughsedge @et_roughsedge]

@edinhelp Thank you.

@edinhelp The traffic lights where Drum Brae South meets Templeland Road have broken again. There seems to be a fundamental problem with this set of lights as they keep breaking and it is only 8 days since they were last fixed. Hundreds of Craigmount schoolchildren cross here.
