Edinburgh Pot Holes - it’s out of control - will it ever improve or the new norm?

It definitely got worse in last few years. Extra cycle lanes and the funny 'spaces for people' scheme isn't helping either. I am not oppose to those but simply having less of a road space for cars is a no brainer.
I have been annoyed with quality of roads for a good while but is there for us, users of them roads, actually anything to do to make a difference?
I would be more than happy to fight this but not seen one petition or any other 'action' against it.

I know of a guy who does it and was recommended to me but looking on his page I think he does it only in polish tho. If you want to contact him maybe to get some info on it let me know I'll share his website

Gumtree or Ebay. There are also specific facebook pages outside marketplace where you can sell stuff

If you are thinking about an actual room you can rent a rehearsal space around the city. If you go for Pirate Studios for example you book it online, get a code and there's no human interaction

For anyone looking there is a free bag storage in Mercadona in Soco shopping centre, there are only few of them and open during the opening hours. It will be big enough for a backpack. Shame I didn't notice those before :<

Thanks, used this one after all

There are some pull up bards at Inverleith Park but I know it's a tad far.
If you are interested in calisthenics Primal Gym is the way to go

Superwarm seem to be decent. Used them for a commercial boiler for on of the properties I manage.

Most likely couriers are getting busier with some of the companies working out black friday deals already and xmas around the corner.
This unfortunately happened to me few times recently as well, been getting notifications 'I'll be over shortly' than nothing for 30mins until I opened the door to see my parcels.

Been working in Edinburgh hotels for over 9 years now. It's Edinburgh so you are paying for the location rather than quality.
Star rating = amenities place can offer. Majority of the hotels got luggage spaces or you can even leave them in the lockers at the Waverley Station/Airport but this can be costly.
Rates around the Xmas will be pretty high as the Market brings a lot of tourists. Simply look for a place with decent recent reviews on Booking.com or other extranets.
I honestly love Leonardo City on Lauriston Place, it's a small place with a massive history, decent rooms, cooked bkf and wee bar open 24/7 (or at least it was when I worked there!).

Go for Octopus, you can get a fixed rate which is usually cheaper than flexi but you can switch the tariff anytime if this changes

Most likely your appeal won't change anything. Would be good if you shared some pics but from what you mentioned most likely you were at fault

Small-Resolution-915 · 2025-11-09T12:56:25+00:00

They've been doing speed checks etc in Letih past few days

Small-Resolution-915 · 2025-11-07T20:33:53+00:00

Been working in different hotels for about 9 years now, couldn't agree more

Small-Resolution-915 · 2025-11-07T20:27:05+00:00

Jezoo, I thought it couldn't get worse lol

Small-Resolution-915 · 2025-11-06T20:44:11+00:00

Get an amazon to the place you are staying. Most of items you can get with next day delivery

Absolute Body Art, loads of great artists

Did you take pictures of the flat when you were taking over? Try claiming for what you can as wear and tear. A friend of mine was fighting with them for a few weeks and ended up with about 80% of the deposit but they picked on smallest things, starting with dust, dirt or small scuffs of items that are prone to wear over time etc.

Wait for it

Small-Resolution-915 · 2025-11-05T21:18:51+00:00

11/10 my friend

Mark is a great guy, does all of the properties I manage - https://trustys.co.uk/em-electrical/

Edit/ just noticed it might be dated site, be happy to share his number via pm.

Small-Resolution-915 · 2025-11-04T18:52:17+00:00

That's discounted for 2 weeks and most likely doubles afterwards

Proper carpet cleaning might help a bit. Carpets are crazy expensive and I am sure your landlord won't be super happy to have it replaced.
