Heritage watchdog says festival crowds ‘choking’ Edinburgh

Well done for raising this issue. It is now unsafe on the pavements on George lv Bridge as the seething masses have to overflow onto the road. Chambers Street is logjammed every time a cruise ship is in and George Street is just a mess. – Gordon Keeble Stop complaining. Live a little.

Cannot get over how grubby the pavements are along there. Why do other cities manage to send cleaning machines around in the early hours and not us? – Honeysuckle The Cockburners say buildings before people. – Alex Montrose South Bridge is disgusting! A unique and beautiful street has been turned into a sewer, with shops and food outlets to match. Only in Edinburgh! – Canisp It’s simply supply and demand. – The Ayrshire Bard
