Yet again @waitrose are selling this dog chew toy with a battery in it. I complain regularly but they won’t remove it @DogsTrust @RSPCA_official @ScottishSPCA @goodboydog_

[Sheena Nimmo @SheenaNimmo]

How can @waitrose think that selling a dog chew toy with a battery in it is a good idea?

@edinhelp Looks like a driver has gone through the bollards protecting pedestrians at Midmar Paddock. Two bollards damaged and one moved to other side of the road plus debris from car on path/road.

Parents at South Morningside Primary School are asking the Council to enhance traffic safety measures near the school.

One Mum tells me her 8-year-old son was hit by a van near-by.

@waitrose Will @waitrose wait until a dog swallows a battery for them to remove this product?

[Sheena Nimmo @SheenaNimmo]

@waitrose I did speak the Duty Manager. He was very sympathetic but said he couldn’t do anything about removing it from the shelves.

@waitrose I see your Edinburgh Morningside store has restocked - unbelievable!

@CllrChasBooth Meanwhile, the Quiet Route in the Braid Estate has reduced traffic by 40% with minimal 2% increase in traffic on Comiston Road. Cycling increased. But councillors voted to rip it out and acknowledged that traffic is expected to return to previous level of 10,000 vehicles a day.

Plans currently being drawn up for option 3 of Greenbank - Meadows Quiet Route, but thankfully council undertook not to remove the modal filters until speed reduction measures installed on Hermitage Drive, Midmar Drive, Braid Road (south) and Braid Avenue

@DAstonSNP @AlysGreens @CyclingEdin @Cyclesouthedin @Algorhythmica1 @CllrBenParker @edi_dot_bike @SpokesPorty #Edinwebcast #Greenbank/#Meadows

@CllrScottArthur amend't to make it 100% clear that the previously-agreed option 3 is experimental, hence use cheap materials
The Order will be clear that Options 1 or 2 could be restored depending on the trial results

Agreed (with minor change)

[Sheena Nimmo @SheenaNimmo]

@blackfordsafer1 We need to make sure that the council stick to their promise that the modal filters will not be removed until speed reduction measures are installed on Hermitage Drive, Midmar Drive, Braid Road (south) and Braid Avenue

@MidmarPaddock Not my photo (it was from a local Facebook page) but here’s one of mine from yesterday

[Sheena Nimmo @SheenaNimmo]

@lucynorris1 Spotted at Blackford Pond yesterday!

[Sheena Nimmo @SheenaNimmo]

@SW20Ed @cllr_jenkinson But Scott voted in favour of ripping out the Quiet Route in the Braid Estate in full knowledge that traffic is expected to increase by 4,000 vehicles a day

[Sheena Nimmo @SheenaNimmo]

@lucynorris1 @jennymco @MichaelMacLeod1 Just been to the pond - no sign of the female swan. First time I’ve known Blackford Pond to have no swans.

[Sheena Nimmo @SheenaNimmo]

@edinburghpaper Three modal filters in the Braid Estate in South Edinburgh have reduced rat-running traffic by 40% at very little cost and with only 2% increase in traffic on main alternative route. Council wants to remove filters and spend £200-400k building cycle lanes so drivers can return.

[Sheena Nimmo @SheenaNimmo]

@jennymco @MichaelMacLeod1 @lucynorris1 Thank you for update. I spoke to the Countryside Rangers yesterday morning. They were very helpful, but at that point weren’t sure when they would be able to remove the remains. Has the last cygnet definitely gone? It was still there with the remaining swan on Monday morning.
