Dear Spurtle,
Yet again, with the tourist season ahead of us, the city looks like a slum.
The weeds are just ridiculous, especially in the New Town, as are the potholes.
In the street where I live – Bellevue Crescent – they are positively dangerous. (I should know, having fallen twice into them and injured myself to the extent that I required hospitalisation.)
I have reported both these issues (and graffiti) over 20 times and nothing – precisely NOTHING – gets done about it.
So much for the UNESCO World Heritage New Town. It’s a joke!
Tourism is massively important to this city, yet many tourists I speak to through my work are appalled by the state of the roads and pavements – does nobody care?
Who is accountable?? Why does this go on, year after year?
Can’t we start a campaign to finally get some results?
