UPDATE ON THE BRIDGE ROAD CO-OP
Latest news is that the contractors at Bridge Road are working on the internal fit-out work and the estimated date of opening looks like early May 2018.
We also understand that (after comment by the Community Council in 2017), the Co-op has decided to relocate its satellite dish from the Long Steps to the back of the building.

Did You Know....?
You have two ways to contact our local Police: by ringing 101; or 999. So which to use when?
We asked our Community Police Office PC Graeme Howie and he said:
- The Police are always keen to prevent crime, so if you see anything that looks to you like it might result in an incident, you should call 101- even if nothing has happened...yet. Be aware, this is a busy line. Keep trying!
- If an incident is happening, then call 999 for a more immediate response.
Did You Also Know...?
The No 10 Bus Service in Bonaly is a “Hail and Ride” service. This means that while there is no specific Bus Stop in Bonaly up to the end of Bonaly Avenue, if you see the bus approaching and want to get on, you can put out your hand to stop it and simply “Hail and Ride”.
