Good Neighbours?

Well, this is interesting. On Friday 16th April, the deadline (coincidentally, no doubt) for private individuals to comment on the Slateford Road development, AMA deposited over a dozen large containers on the site. As you can see from the photographs below, they are piled up against the wall of the Violet Terrace garden, and several have been put on top in a second row. The upper row ones are at the entrance end so that they over-bear the Violet Terrace garden; indeed the closest ones are only about 5 metres from the windows of 1/12 Violet Terrace. Amazingly, a couple on the top are arranged at a 90 degree angle from the others so that they dominate the garden for their full length rather than partially, although looking at the large area of the yard (see picture 2), it seems unnecessary to have a top layer at all.

New view across Violet Terrace garden, now that AMA have put all the containers up against our garden wall.

They didn't really need to do that, did they?

So, we have this particular behaviour on this particular day... inconsiderate neighbours, or are AMA sending us a message?

"We are the powerful development company, and you are the little people in the little cottages, so we can do what we like..."
