If Edinburgh Council gets its way, colourful scenes like this could soon be gone forever.
The City Centre and Leith Neighbourhood Office seeks volunteers for a community clean-up on Friday, marking the end of a week-long anti-graffiti drive by officials.
Those taking part (10am–12.30pm) will meet under the Calton Road rail bridge. They’ll receive protective equipment, anti-graffiti solutions (no shotguns), and guidance.
They’ll also get a free lunch, courtesy of ‘local eateries’.
To sign up or get more information, Tel. 529 7090, e-mail Mark.Robinson@edinburgh.gov.uk
Meanwhile, at the opposite end of Greater Spurtleshire, the ‘rather sorry state’ of the small play area at the north end of Pilrig Park will be the subject of a meeting in McDonald Road Library tomorrow evening.
Locals are invited to come along between 6.00pm and 7.30pm with suggestions for how it could be improved.
There’s also a quick and anonymous survey on the subject here.
Spring tidy
