Day 7. All of the outside now in proper Post Office red. More coats needed, but tomorrow sees the return of windows (Windows 24?). You may see Colinton's phone box featured on Gordon Chree's piece on tonight's STV News at Six!

Yes, it is an Art in the Park year, and it is that time of year, much planning is happening! #SpylawPark #Colinton

😍🥰🤩 Our adopted phone box being well taken care of!

Love this artwork by Adam Bruce Thomson, seen by UrbanPioneers, a friend of CVE, at City Art Centre Edinburgh Museums. Amazing how little has changed since c.1937! #SpylawPark #Colinton #Edinburgh

Exchange box - information, plants? books? Ideas for our lovely refurbished kiosk and community resource?🤔🤔🤔 With thanks again to Colinton Tunnel Eddie and Mike for their hard work.

A morning session ahead for our volunteers at Colinton. Tasks on the list. Finding the millstones in the vegetation. Cleaning up the stairs Removing mud from the path to the park Balsam bashing in the river Litter picking locally Enjoying time outdoors. The City of Edinburgh Council

Other work done today up at Colinton by our volunteers A local litter pick including a homeless site in the Dells Clearing mud to open up the drainage on the bridge Clearing the stairs of vegetation Exposing the millstone features by the carpark. The City of Edinburgh Council CVEnterprise SCIO

Can CVE's adopted phone box become as iconic as the Pennan kiosk from #LocalHero? We certainly hope so now that Colinton Tunnel has restored it. Now, we need to work on internal storage, signage, and lighting. #CommunityShareBox #InformationExchange

😔😞

Here are before and after shots from the Colinton end. Water, moss and mud had really taken their toll. It is essential to cherish, maintain and improve the mural. There's more to come soon. Craig’s new work makes an instant impact and creates a huge warm welcome. Enjoy!
