Talk Porty ~ Portobello Serious talk, and just the gossip for Portobello, Edinburgh...Get connected at http://forum.talkport

Welcome to Talk Porty - the online community for Portobello, Scotland. Talk Porty aims to be a virtual "High Street", a space to discuss and debate any matter of interest with relevance to the Portobello and larger (East Edinburgh, Musselburgh, Craigmillar, Duddingston, Craigentinny, etc) area at which people from a range of backgrounds can share views, build partnerships and ultimately bring last

ing benefits to the community. The Portobello Matters forum is for discussion and debate on the big issues affecting Portobello, while G&TT (gossip & tittle tattle) is for more lighthearted discussion. A local buy and sell forum - pBay - is available along with a forum on local history. Private forums can also be created (free of charge) for local organisations. Talk Porty evolved from the forum on the Portobello Online community website. However it is now a separate site, run independently without funding from Portobello Online or Portobello Community Council.

The community council have information up at http://www.portobellocc.org/pccpn/2018/06/05/brighton-place-sett-reconstruction-update-5-june/ (see the links at bottom of page to extra info - buses and 26 April) and there's a petitions doing the rounds too, online at https://you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/stop-the-setts and in paper at local shops.

Under proposals to re-lay the setts in Brighton Place, this main thoroughfare will be closed for 60 weeks and buses re-routed away from Portobello High Street. A consultation carried out by Portobello Community Council showed that more local people support an asphalt (tarmac) road surface. The Counc...
