I have no fancy photos or memes to catch your eye, but the park was full of activity today! More paths in the wild patch were created, 5+bags of litter collected, all our dog poo bags used up and at least a dozen kids left with smiles. Park tidy was a success! Join us next Sun!

[Friends of Montgomery Street Park @Fo_MSP]

@edinhelp Can you help us? Bins overflowing with dog poo bags:) Thanks!

We'll be back again next Sunday (22nd) at 12pm for some gardening and hedge tidying!

[Friends of Montgomery Street Park @Fo_MSP]

@edinhelp Can you help remove 8 Christmas trees, traffic cones, signs and barriers from the park?

[Living Streets Edinburgh @LivingStreetsEd]

We have launched our walking manifesto in advance of the Council elections next year (6 May): https://t.co/JIRCwmmj05

We hope that our calls for a better walking city in practice as well as in theory will get wide support: please share and tell your councillor if you agree!

[Friends of Montgomery Street Park @Fo_MSP]

@edinhelp Thank you! Hopefully future mowings can start with a survey of litter, especially glass bottles to prevent future unsafe conditions.

[Friends of Montgomery Street Park @Fo_MSP]

@edinhelp lots of broken glass in the grass of Montgomery St Park at yesterday's litter pick. Likely caused by the Council's mowers crushing bottles as they drove over.
Can the broken glass be picked up (South West corner)?
And can a quick litter pick be done before mowing?
