It's autumn! Time to start inflating your robins. They need to be COMPLETELY ROUND by winter. Minimum 30psi There is no maximum
Down to Redbraes this morning for our volunteers, finally in some sunshine to clean up, tidy path sections and conduct a @Riverflies survey.
From today's @ftopinion #sewage #Rivers
Consultation closes soon: consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/roseburnto… Our response in brief: Yes, re-open the bridge; Include Pride branding; Don't over-design, bearing in mind cost and future maintenance requirements.
After the Council pulled out of the Marchmont LTN, the pressure is on to make sure Leith LTN stays - or is improved - and is not scrapped due to who can shout loudest on social media.
Another fantastic morning on Water of Leith. Today we braved the rain with a good wade upstream to Bogs bridge from our visitor centre, Taking out plenty of wet wipes, ancient plastics and rusty metal from the river. 💪✨ #dreamteam #wateroflieth #waterofleithconservationtrust
An active morning wading from Currie Kirk to Waulkmill Loan and a clean up at King George Park. Over 20 bags of rubbish removed locally to keep #Currie clean. Plus time to give local paths some care as well @Edinburgh_CC @KSBScotland @PathsForAll
A great way to finish off the week down at Bells. Trees planted along the banking to reduce erosion during surges. Opening up of the drainage to reduce puddles along it. A sweep up of debris to keep all in good order. Well done staff from 9 Haymarket Sq. #CSR @Edinburgh_CC
Happy #GroundhogDay! While we can’t live this same day over and over, we can give #plastic waste new life by recycling. But it has to be done right - putting un-recyclable plastics in the bin can really gum up the works. Check the #dosanddonts here: tinyurl.com/2xpjev6f
All blue down in Leith except for the rubbish awaiting a clean up once the bridge repairs are complete. Just shows a small volume of the rubbish that comes down the river annually that without cleanups would head out to sea #upstreambattle @KSBScotland @SOSLeith @Edinburgh_CC
I appreciate all of the support so far more than I can explain. Unfortunately the past month has been particularly busy legally, so I am at a point where I need to continue raising funds. 🌼🪦🌳 gofund.me/561b564c
What's happening to River Almond is mirrored in the Water of Leith. "We asked @EnvStanScot to investigate @ScottishEPA’s refusal to act on sewage in River Almond ... a year later ... pollution remains ... we need a #ScottishEnvironmentalCourt." @ERCScot, 5 Jan 2024
"Probe into River Almond sewage ‘ineffective’, say critics." The regulation of @scottish_water is beginning to have a very familiar feel to it. theferret.scot/probe-into-riv…
A Friday session ahead down in #Leith giving the walkway a good sweep for debris between Anderson Place and Great Junction St. 25 volunteers signed up today with the promise of 🍰🍰🍰 as it's Johnny our rangers birthday. @Edinburgh_CC @PathsforAll @SustransScot #ncr75
How much #sewage #bacteria lies below the surface? We called on our elected representatives to take action to get our river tested & have positive responses so far from @adamnolsmcvey, @KatrinaFaccenda @JackRMCaldwell & @BenMacpherson. The swans deserve better and so do we!
A wonderful walkway session in the sunshine down at #Leith. Lots of sweeping of debris to make the walkway more usable, litter cleared locally and a quality tea break full of cake. Happy Friday @Edinburgh_CC @PathsforAll @SustransScot #ncr75 @SOSLeith
Leith community failed by regulators as sewage-polluted silt fills up the basins of the Water of Leith. Check out this shocking blog post tinyurl.com/2jz336et What do you thnk about #sewage in the Water of #Leith? How much sewage should we be expected to live with?
The Shore mirrored in the ice. Beautiful, but what lies beneath? A recent blog at @ERCScot exposed inaction from regulators as #sewage-polluted silt chokes the lower basins of the Water of #Leith. Read it here tinyurl.com/mrxf7wms
These storms have sent so much #plastic waste downstream where it eventually ends up at sea. Given that 80% of marine #litter starts on land, to save our Shore and save our seas, we must tackle it at source. Join the #UpstreamBattle in Leith tomorrow. tinyurl.com/5dv8wkvj
Good to see lots of our regular volunteers out lending @KSBScotland a hand with their litter pick and survey of rubbish down in #Leith. With their local knowledge plenty of fly tipping spots where found and cleaned up @Edinburgh_CC #upstreambattle @womblesofficial @SOSLeith
Disappointed to have to report that after minor repairs back in Nov, the well used stone bench at the Balgreen community garden has been severely vandalised. We'll rebuild it in the near future with volunteers as time allows @GDCC_ @Edinburgh_CC
