Gas Mains Work (Again !)
| |
Major Gas Replacement Works In Oxgangs Road North and Colinton Road Area of Edinburgh | |
The following information is being circulated on behalf of SGN. Our essential work will ensure the local community receives a continued safe and reliable gas supply for many years to come. We’re working closely with Scottish Government to make sure we carry out our project in line with all current coronavirus safety guidance. We’re looking to start the final phase of this work to replace the gas main within the Oxgangs Road North & Colinton Road area of Edinburgh on Monday the 16 November 2020 and will last approximately 6 weeks. There will be a requirement to use temporary traffic signals, from 8:30am on Monday, 3 way signals will be set up at the Colinton roundabout. These will cause delays during peak periods and will be manually controlled to ease congestion during these times. To ensure everyone’s safety, local diversion routes will be in operation and it will be necessary to close the following roads. Emergency vehicle access will be maintained at all times.
During these works we will close the entrance of both Craiglockhart Road and Craiglockhart Park at the junction with Colinton Road. This will likely take place during the second or third week of the project. Parking suspensions will be in operation on Colinton Road for the duration of our works although access to driveways will always be maintained where possible. This will be carried out on a phased basis as not all parking will be affected at once. We wish to assure you that work will progress as quickly as possible and we’ll be doing everything we can to limit delays and disruption caused by our works. We’ve written to residents and other local stakeholders to make them aware of our project and explain the details of our work. Please feel free to also share this information with anyone you think may be impacted by our project. |
Door to Door Sales.
See NHW for advice from Police. Similar item on the Colinton Village Residents Facebook page today where somebody had one of these guys at the door and ended up feeling intimidated by him.
DPRA Accounts
Latest accounts are available to view here.
NHW – HMRC Scam
Have a look at the NHW page. I have received an email myself purporting to be from HMRC in regard to overpaid tax etc. It looks very convincing and some people might assume it was genuine.
DPRA Bank Accounts
Just for info and to avoid any future confusion, the old bank account has now been closed. We deliberately left it open this year in case anyone accidentally paid their Garden Maintenance Fee into it. Two households indeed did and this money plus some residual funds have been transferred over into the new account. Should anyone try and pay money into the old account next year it will bounce. A full breakdown of accounts will be posted shortly once approved at committee level.
Smoke Alarms etc. – UPDATE !
Due to lack of publicity (not admitted) and the ongoing Covid-19 crisis, it seems that Scot.gov are going to delay the implementation due to coronavirus impact. It appears they are going to put it back to Feb. 2022.
See Scot.gov for info.
Smoke, fire and co2 alarms !
As per my other recent post, I picked up some information on nextdoor.co.uk which appears to indicate that “all” homes in Scotland must have inter-connected alarms installed and working by February next year (Feb.2021)
Link to gov.scot with info on legislation etc.
Sykes the electrician in the village have posted some info from “Select” and it can viewed via the “nextdoor.co.uk” website.
This is the same leaflet direct from “Select”. Alarms.pdf
I most certainly have not received any information about this, but it does appear to be genuine.
