@merchistoncc.bsky.socialWant to organise leaf clearing in your own area? @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social can provide clean up kits free of charge if you would like to clear away leaves, weeds or litter in your neighbourhod.
@merchistoncc.bsky.socialYes it is ! @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social can provide clean up kits free of charge if you would like to clear away leaves, weeds or litter in your neighbourhod.
@merchistoncc.bsky.socialThe Project is supported by Edinburgh City Council, which no longer arrange regular leaf clearing of all the streets. They provides bags, brushes and shovels and also collect the bags of leaves for disposal.
@merchistoncc.bsky.social@merchistoncc.bsky.socialLeaf clearing volunteers needed 🍂
We invite residents to join the Volunteer Team in the Merchiston Leaf Clearing Project

We are asking what your think of our new Astley Ainslie Place Brief.
@edcriticalmass.bsky.socialReposted by @merchistoncc.bsky.socialNew Critical Mass this very Saturday, 2pm from middle meadow walk. This time we will ride towards Cluny Gardens and King's Building. A route used by many students daily but that could be made a lot safer for cycling.
@katenevens.bsky.socialReposted by @merchistoncc.bsky.socialApologies if this is the Green equivalent of pointing at potholes, but that's a fairly significant bit if flooding behind me after only about 2 hrs of rain in Edinburgh.
@merchistoncc.bsky.socialSecure cycle storage is crucial for our tenement-dwelling residents. To request a cycle hangar near you, or to apply for a space in en existing hangar, please follow this link: www.edinburgh.gov.uk/cycling-walk...
@merchistoncc.bsky.socialCycle Hangar Update: The TRO process has concluded, and the hangars will be installed by the end of the financial year (March 2027). Spaces will be offered to residents who have requested hangars in these locations, then to people on waitlists for existing nearby hangars before going to the public.
