Summary
A major water main burst in Edinburgh’s Charlotte Square—right near the First Minister’s residence—for a whole month, with Scottish Water stuck waiting for council approval to fix it amid ongoing road closures and events. Despite knowing about the leak since August and finally securing traffic management plans, delays lingered until recent talks with the council. Locals, including Alex Orr who’s been tracking the mess, are frustrated by the slow response. Now, just one final go-ahead away, repairs are poised to begin—finally ending the relentless gushing water. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
