Glad to see the public toilets at Taylor Gardens #Leith open again. The @R_S_P_H say a lack of public #toilets causes people to reduce fluid intake when they are out. Some are afraid to venture far from home or don’t go out at all. Hope these #loos are well used & looked after.

Skatepark? Pump track? BOTH!? Hungerford's NEW concrete skatepark is officially open. The new space features a beautiful balance of street & transition, and the pump track integration makes this a unique design. Designed & built by @MaverickSkate Which section would you hit?
