I was told they were being picked up and the carPark was being marked out with bays including disabled. Containers gone, but no marking yet. I wasn't charged for parking either.

EK JAMBO Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 Spent the night in the hotel last night. The room was fantastic. The meal in the Skyline restaurant was lovely. The staff were really friendly especially Sarah at the reception. Breakfast was brilliant and plentiful, we had a fry up which was huge. Mrs EK (who wasn’t particularly keen to go in the first place)was really impressed and already planning on staying again. 10/10 Hearts. Superb. 🇱🇻🇱🇻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is absolutely buzzing on match days , and you can almost hear the cash registers ringing . Some of our group stay far away and have stayed in the hotel two or three times now ………… Chuck in the restaurant , lounge and other hospitality suites and I think we are all going to be taken aback by the amount of cash we are generating , I really do Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone above said, Sarah on reception is a star and total jambo as well so had a great night blethering to her. It’s not rammed every night but they are doing well, trip advisor rating really helping. They are coining it in on match days and for Taylor Swift concert bookings. She also said it was a great place to work, treat the staff well, which was good to hear. highly recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockwell Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 The hotel is a fantasy addition to the business .I thought part of the planning for the stand was the resurfacing of McLeod street it's an absolute disgrace .

In England it’s a section 106, think in Scotland it’s a section 76. No idea if there was anything in the planning for the main stand but wouldn’t be surprised if there was.

I'm sure people going to the hotel that's not locals must think they are on an off road dirt track You need to get in touch with the Council about the state of McLeod Street, as it's their responsibility, not Hearts, and resurfacing McLeod Street was never part of our plans, why would it be? Far better we spend our money on revenue generating initiatives like the new hotel. I've yet to see any reviews of the hotel from people complaining about the state of the surrounding roads.

It’s very possible for a road upgrade to be part of a planning application. Whether or not it was a condition of ours is another matter. Given the state of the road I’m thinking not.

Jambo-Fox Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Would the best thing for McLeod Street to be pedestrianised? Close it to through vehicles at the Tynecastle Arms and at the old Tynecastle School. Extend the Foundation Plaza and make it a huge Jambos fan / party zone! Plant some maroon (purple) leaved trees to provide some shade in the summer months! ♥️♥️♥️♥️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In England it’s a section 106, think in Scotland it’s a section 76. No idea if there was anything in the planning for the main stand but wouldn’t be surprised if there was. True, but I believe it's normally something that's done for new developments on empty, derelict or disused sites, eg new housing developments (greenfield or brownfield), new retail units, etc, where the development actually causes, or contributes to, the need for the public works in the first place. For instance, if a proposed development is expected to increase traffic volume at a give way junction, meaning the junction needs upgraded with traffic lights, the development would often be required to cover some or all of the cost of the junction upgrade. Alternatively, if a development is proposed in the vicinity of a public works project which would be beneficial to the proposed development (eg a proposed housing development near a planned stop on a new tram line), the development might be expected to make a contribution. I'm not aware of the new main stand development having included a requirement to carry out general maintenance of the surface of the adjacent public road, but I guess you never know!

I think the idea was good in theory, but in practice I believe it raised complex and potentially costly issues re things like liability for future maintenance of the mural, as well as liability/indemnity issues in the possible event of any damage done to the building while doing the mural. Tbh, I wouldn't be surprised if it also just turned out to be significantly more expensive than initially thought, and difficulty getting agreement from the owners became a useful excuse!

Especially with the Old Tynecastle school being turned into Student flats and having the New Tynecastle school on it. Having it turned pedestrianised along that stretch would make sense. Could have the street made up to look good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
