  • Letter from Ash Denham, Minister for Community Safety
    A consultation on fireworks in Scotland BACKGROUND REFERENCES Letter from Ash Denham, Minister for Community Safety Many people in Scotland enjoy attending firework displays in a safe and responsible manner. Many of us will have attended and enjoyed fireworks at celebratory events – from locally organised displays in and around bonfire night through to the annual displays at the Edinburgh Festival and Tattoo. However, ensuring fireworks are used safely and handled with care is essential to ensure they do not cause harm, distress, or serious injury. Every year, the hard work of our emergency services to tackle dangerous and anti-social behaviour associated with fireworks helps to reduce the number of incidents, particularly around bonfire night. However, every year there are still a number of concerning reports. I would like to hear your views on how you use and enjoy fireworks, and the impact fireworks have on you and your community. I would like to hear your views and ideas on what action we can take to ensure fireworks continue to be enjoyed safely and responsibly. Communities that are enabled to work together, alongside local partners, to identify issues and contribute to solutions are more likely to identify effective and sustainable ways forward that work for their local area. I would like to hear your thoughts and ideas about how we can make the most of the knowledge and experiences within our communities to support the safe and responsible use of fireworks. While the sale of fireworks is an issue only the UK Government at Westminster can change, I will use the outcomes of this consultation to inform ongoing discussions about what changes are needed.

  • The Register of Burials in the Churchyard of Restalrig 1728
    lifelii p" I (SCOTTISH RECORD SOCIETY, INDEX TO THE REGISTER OF BURIALS IN THE CHURCHYARD OF RESTALRIG, 1728-1854. c EDITED BY FRANCIS J. GRANT, W.S., ROTHESAY HERALD AND LYON CLERK.- EDINBURGH : t) hos PRINTED FOR THE SOCIETY BY JAMES SKINNER & COMPANY 1908. EDINBURGH: PRINTED BY JAMES SKINNER ANU COMPANY. 54- PREFACE. The village of Restalrig is situated in the parish of South Leith and on the eastern outskirts of the city of Edinburgh. It is a place of great antiquity, and in pre-Reformation times its collegiate church was the parish church of Leith. At the Reformation the church, which was dedicated to St. Triduana, was ordered by the General Assembly to be -razed and utterly cast down as a monument of idolatry, and the parishioners ordained to repair to St. Mary's Church at Leith, a sentence which was only too faithfully carried out. The edifice remained a ruin till the year 1836, when the present chapel of ease was constructed out of its remains. Though ceasing to be a place of worship after 1560, the churchyard continued to be a place of sepulchre, and after the disestablish- ment of Episcopacy in 1689 was used by the members of that body as a place of burial when denied the right to conduct service in other places. In 1726, with the sanction of John, Lord Balmerino, and James, Lord Coupar, his son, the proprietors of the Barony, the Friendly Society of Restalrig was constituted, and to its care the ruined church and church- yard were made over. The first members of this Society were Messrs.

Regional: Alison Johnstone MSP; Andy Wightman MSP; Sarah Boyack MSP; Neil Findlay MSP; Gordon Lindhurst MSP; Miles Briggs MSP; Jeremy Balfour MSP.

This has been carried out by numerous small local organisations with coordination support through the Edinburgh Third Sector Interface. • Despite the best efforts of City of Edinburgh Council, we are currently not being made aware of any plans, from Scottish Government, to deliver a further investment into this fund – which will run out before Monday 15th June 2020 – leaving thousands of vulnerable people at significant risk. • The risks include the obvious health and social care challenges but perhaps more importantly, potentially forcing those who are at increased risk of serious illness or those who could potentially infect others to leave isolation to go to supermarkets, utilise public transport or attend food banks.

Introduction Licensing Boards have the power to identify areas of overprovision where it is deemed that the granting of further licensing would undermine the 5 five objectives enshrined in the Licensing (Scotland) Act 2005. These are: Preventing Crime and Disorder Securing Public Safety Preventing Public Nuisance Protecting and Improving Public Health Protecting Children from Harm In Edinburgh the Licensing Board has identified the Grassmarket, Cowgate and streets leading to it as a long established area of overprovision. In November 2011 Jim Sherval, Public Health Specialist in NHS Lothiani, completed an assessment of overprovision provision on behalf of the Board.

  • Proposed Cycle and Pedestrian Improvements, Between Inverleith Place and the Goldenacre Path
    Proposed cycle and pedestrian improvements, between Inverleith Place and The Goldenacre Path Issue: QuietRoute 20 is an important part of Edinburgh’s network of routes for walking and cycling. The levels of traffic on parts of QuietRoute 20 are too high to meet the standards of the QuietRoute network. Purpose and context: The scheme will make it easier, safer and quicker for people walking and cycling along Inverleith Place, Inverleith Row and Warriston Gardens, travelling between Warriston Gardens and The Goldenacre Path, and as part of wider journeys in the north of the city. This will help people travelling on foot and by bicycle to reach local and key destinations, including schools, workplaces, shops and parks. The Council is developing a network of cycle routes across the city, called the ‘QuietRoutes’ network. We know that heavy or fast traffic is the most significant barrier preventing people who want to cycle from doing so. To address this the QuietRoutes are designed so that people can cycle without having to travel in heavy or fast traffic. QuietRoute 20 links Inverleith, the Royal Botanic Garden, Canonmills, Leith Walk, Easter Road, Lochend Park and Restalrig on quiet roads and traffic free paths. Proposed scheme: The Council is proposing: • A segregated cycleway along Inverleith Place; • Improvements to crossing facilities at the junction of Inverleith Place, Arboretum Road and Arboretum Place; • A new signalised crossing on Inverleith Row, to the south of its junction with Inverleith Place; • A segregated cycleway on the east side of Inverleith Row between Inverleith Place and Warriston Gardens; • A new ramp to connect Warriston Gardens and The Goldenacre Path.
