  • Brunstane Station I Would Like to Pick up an Issue I Tried to Raise in The
    Brunstane Station I would like to pick up an issue I tried to raise in the previous Community Council, but there were too many distractions at the time for it to receive serious attention. The headline issue is how large numbers of people can get to Portobello, but it also raises the question of the vision we have for the character and future of Portobello. My own wish is that Portobello should have lots of visitors – to enjoy the priceless amenity of the beach and Prom, as one of the most important of Edinburgh’s “lungs”, and also to support our local shops and other businesses. We don’t do a lot to advertise our attractions (Edinburgh is curiously neglectful of Porty), but even if we did, there remains the very significant problem of how people are to get here. When I raised this issue previously Cllr Walker said that there wasn’t a problem because the Beach is “mobbed” on hot days – but we had a fantastic Summer in 2013, and the Beach was never “mobbed”. There were huge expanses of empty sand, while in the ‘glory days’ people had to queue up until they could get a vacant spot on the Beach… The transport options are: • Car: there is hardly anywhere to park, and our streets are anyway clogged up with residents’ cars; anyone coming to Porty by car will carry on to East Lothian. • Bus: we have a great bus service, but it’s painfully slow (it can take as long to get through Porty as it then takes to get all the way in to Edinburgh), and it doesn’t cope well with big increases in demand (such as on hot Sundays).

  • Consultation Report on Towerbank Primary School, Edinburgh City Council
    Report by Education Scotland addressing educational aspects of the proposal by The City of Edinburgh Council to change the catchment area of Towerbank Primary School. 1. Introduction 1.1 This report from Education Scotland has been prepared by HM Inspectors in accordance with the terms of the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010 and the amendments contained in the Children and Young People (Scotland) Act 2014. The purpose of the report is to provide an independent and impartial consideration of The City of Edinburgh Council’s proposal to change the catchment area of Towerbank Primary School. Section 2 of the report sets out brief details of the consultation process. Section 3 of the report sets out HM Inspectors’ consideration of the educational aspects of the proposal, including significant views expressed by consultees. Section 4 summarises HM Inspectors’ overall view of the proposal. Upon receipt of this report, the Act requires the council to consider it and then prepare its final consultation report. The council’s final consultation report should include a copy of this report and must contain an explanation of how, in finalising the proposal, it has reviewed the initial proposal, including a summary of points raised during the consultation process and the council’s response to them. The council has to publish its final consultation report three weeks before it takes its final decision. Where a council is proposing to close a school, it needs to follow all legislative obligations set out in the 2010 Act, including notifying Ministers within six working days of making its final decision and explaining to consultees the opportunity they have to make representations to Ministers.

  • Dalrymple Crescent a Snapshot of Victorian Edinburgh
    DALRYMPLE CRESCENT A SNAPSHOT OF VICTORIAN EDINBURGH Joanne Lamb ABOUT THE BOOK A cross-section of life in Edinburgh in the 19th century: This book focuses on a street - Dalrymple Crescent - during that fascinating time. Built in the middle of the 19th century, in this one street came to live eminent men in the field of medicine, science and academia, prosperous merchants and lawyers, The Church, which played such a dominant role in lives of the Victorians, was also well represented. Here were large families and single bachelors, marriages, births and deaths, and tragedies - including murder and bankruptcy. Some residents were drawn to the capital by its booming prosperity from all parts of Scotland, while others reflected the Scottish Diaspora. This book tells the story of the building of the Crescent, and of the people who lived there; and puts it in the context of Edinburgh in the latter half of the 19th century COPYRIGHT First published in 2011 by T & J LAMB, 9 Dalrymple Crescent, Edinburgh EH9 2NU www.dcedin.co.uk This digital edition published in 2020 Text copyright © Joanne Lamb 2011 Foreword copyright © Lord Cullen 2011 All rights reserved.
