What about trees in containers along the west end of the prom where the bus depot is?

[seanie]

Would they survive? It's pretty exposed.

Dunno, guess people with greener fingers could pick the right variety

[seanie]

I'd suggest plastic, nailed down.

Seanie, do you know if the entire £150,000 is being made available? I thought some of this had already been spent on path upgrading round Portobello Park, but the NP link doesn't make any mention of this.

There was £500,000 set aside in the budget, £350,000 of which has been committed to the Park itself. The remaining £150,000 is still to be decided on. There was an NP paper giving indicative costs for various measures. I'll try to find it.

[Mark Cameron]

Any idea if it's possible to email the completed form back rather than posting?

[seanie]

Indicative improvements.

Indicative improvements.

It's unfortunate that the person collating the suggestions doesn't fully understand the local area. For example see the response to items 7 and 9.
