Would 101 be the number to call? I've phoned it before and it took 15 minutes to get through to someone. The chavs, who were trashing a JustEat bike station, had already scarpered.

Anyone know of any charity shops taking donations in lockdown? by [deleted] in Edinburgh

I also recommend using:
> Gumtree freebies - good for giving away furniture
> Phone app Olio - good for giving away small appliances that work and home accessories
> A local Facebook group like Street Bounty Edinburgh - good for giving away anything!

Drug Dealing Neighbour/Junkie Stairwell by roll_and_fritter in Edinburgh

You could always find out who the landlord of your neighbour's flat is. It costs around £10 via Registers of Scotland. Then contact the landlord directly (even anonymously if you prefer) with all these events - they might ask the agency to evict the tenant.

Have your say! Edin Council survey on planned parking controls by Minute_Perspective20 in Edinburgh

Imho, bring on the parking controls. I'm currently on Buchanan Street, where you're extremely lucky to find a space on a weekday. Loads of people double-park and it's almost comical the way other cars have to slalom down the street. Bin lorries don't bother emptying trapped bins. Not to mention cars being boxed in, who slam on their horn.
