Police Report WPC Kaiser was detained due to an operational matter so her report was presented later on in the meeting but for consistency is in the normal order on the agenda: Prior to her arrival the Secretary handed out a copy of a response Gordon Lindhurst MSP had received from the Divisional Commander following on from points raised at the previous meeting. This response is reproduced at Appendix A. It was also decided that a monthly crime prevention tip would be put on the website, noticeboard and in the minutes. WPC Kaiser gave her report for September. Community Officers are now permitted to issue a copy of their report to the meeting. The report is attached at the end of the minutes. WPC Kaiser also said that there had been complaints about Mounthooly Loan being used as a park and ride but all vehicles were parked legitimately. Also a complaint had been received about a large quantity of builders rubble having been deposited o the road way there. Should you wish to contact the Community Policing Team, you can do so by email at [email protected] or by telephoning the new national non-emergency number 101. There is also a Police Surgery on Wednesdays between 1700 and 1800 hours at Oxgangs Library. Monthly Crime Prevention Tip – Fit a shed alarm. They are available from local and national retailers. 2. Community Council Elections Cllr Aitken announced that there had been 7 valid nominations received for the new community council. As this was under the maximum number of 10 no election was required and those nominated were automatically appointed. The new councillors were: Colin Anderson; Johanna Carrie; Andreas Lippok, Carol Lonie Fraser Simon, Norman Tinlin and Dennis Williams. This left 3 vacant places. It was proposed, and unanimously agreed, that Fiona Simon be co-opted as a member. Barbara Dick was the Nominated member for the Buckstone Association as a local interest group. There was no representative at present from the Buckstone Youth. 3. Office Bearers The following office bearers were appointed: Chair Dennis Williams proposed by Fiona Simon and seconded by Alison Elfick Secretary Norman Tinlin proposed by Carol Lonie and seconded by Brian Ralph 1 © Fairmilehead Community Council Treasurer Fiona Simon proposed by Norman Tinlin and seconded by Dennis Williams It was decided not to appoint a Vice Chair at this time. 4. Financial Arrangements Each community council receives a grant from the City Council. This is a fixed sum of £522 plus 0.02 pence per head of population within the community which in our case equals £706.74. There is an additional amount added in respect of hall hire. In our case this is £150. Dennis Williams assumed the Chair at this point 5. Representation on Outside Bodies The Chair stated that appointments to external bodies would be made at the next meeting. In the meantime if any person was going to a meeting to represent the community council they should inform him and get permission prior to going. Colin Anderson raised the question of Planning representative. It was formally proposed by the Chair and Secretary that he continue in this role and also represent the community council at the Civic Forum. Colin also raised representation on the SW Forum. He explained that this was a group of representatives from the CCs in the Pentland corridor who met infrequently on planning issues effecting the area particularly the green belt. It was agreed that Colin should represent us on this group. There may be the occasional cost of hosting a meeting. On behalf of the Community Council the Secretary thanked the retiring members, Alison Elfick, Sandy Macpherson and Tom Strathdee for their services over the past few years including their representation on the Pentlands Consultative Forum and Community Safety action group. Sandy was also thanked for stepping in, often at short notice, as chair. 6. Minute Of Meeting Held On 6 September 2016 Johanna Carrie raised an objection to inaccuracies in the minute of the previous meeting. The Chair ruled that the members would meet at the end of the meeting to discuss this matter. 7. Matters Arising: a) Pedestrian Crossing, Buckstone Terrace at Waterfield Road This was covered in Cllr Aitken’s report. An attendee also raised the build back of traffic due to traffic turning right into Waterfield Road and parked cars on Buckstone terrace. 8. Correspondence a) Liquor Licence applications for October 2016 Board (None in Area) b) Cllr Rust – Information on lack of weed spraying in area c) Gordon Lindhurst MSP – Details of new surgery d) CEC – Meet the Funders event on 8 December 2016 between 11am and 2pn at Tynecastle Stadium, Gorgie Suite e) CEC Consultation – Your services are changing – Play your part.

The swept path analysis has now been received and the other outstanding reports can now be prepared. The main issues still to be considered are the road and access and the impact of the removal of the trees, A report is being prepared by an Arboriculture Officer for the letter. As yet, there is no date for consideration by the Development Management Sub Committee. 3 Waste Issues I continue to receive complaints about missed collections e.g. Biggar Road. Pentland Drive, Swanston Avenue and Oxgangs Road and unemptied street bins. I met with Paul Lawrence, Director of Place. to discuss the problems experienced by residents and elected representatives. 4 Parking at Schools Pentland PS will be participating in a Parksmart project with St Mark’s and Oxgangs PS This will tackle the issue of Inappropriate and inconsiderate parking near the schools and should result in safer streets near the schools 5 Boroughmuir High School I attended a site visit last month. The newbuilding will be a fantastic facility which will adapt to the changing needs of a 21st century school. The handover date is still January 2017. 6 Buckstone PS Planning permission has been granted for the new hall arid a timescale for the project will now be confirmed, 7 New Crossing in Buckstone Terrace I have spoken with the new Road Safety and Active Travel Manager, Andrew Easson, and will meet with him when the new proposals are completed. 8 Weed Spraying I have received a number of queries about the weed spraying programme.

Living in Scotland one becomes almost numb to the drone of bagpipes and kilts, heather and kailyards, Nessie and Braveheart--the low hum of ‘cultural sub-nationalism’ that has so perturbed Tom Nairn (1977) and others over the years. As an American with an academic interest in Scotland and nationalismii I have often found myself straining to draw peoples’ attention away from these symbols and towards others I have found more telling for understanding contemporary nationalist demands in Scotland, such as Covenants and Claims of Right (Hearn 1998; 2000).

  • 3 March 2020
    Fairmilehead Community Council Ordinary Meeting held on Tuesday 3rd March 2020 in Fairmilehead Parish Church Present: Colin Anderson (Vice Chair); Norman Tinlin (Secretary); Fiona Simon (Treasurer); Barbara Dick (Buckstone Association); Gillian Holmes (Winton Loan Woodland Trust); Fraser Simon; Stella Thomson; Ex Officio: Councillor Arthur; PC Oliver Ford 17 members of the public Apologies: Dennis Williams (Chair); Johanna Carrie; Councillors Doggart and Rust; George Symonds. The Secretary opened the meeting by explaining that Dennis Williams (Chair) was unable to attend due to business commitments and that Councillors Doggart and Rust were unable to attend due to attendance at Council meetings. The meeting would be chaired by Colin Anderson (Vice Chair). 1. Police Report PC Ford from Ward 2 presented the report which had been prepared by PC David Crow. The report can be found at Appendix A. PC Ford noted that there had been 6 housebreakings and 4 thefts from cars. He reminded the meeting that it is best to keep all things of value, such as bikes, out of sight. Make sure doors, cars and sheds are all securely locked. Questions/Discussion a) In response to a question as to whether the housebreakings and car thefts might be related, PC Ford agreed that as the offences had been committed within a small geographical area it was likely that the crimes are linked. Possibly the same opportunist thieves operating during the period from 04th February to 19th February. b) In light of the recent comments by Chief Constable Ian Livingstone that the number of police officers in Scotland could be cut, he was asked whether this would affect community policing? PC Ford said he did not know whether there would be a cut to the current level but perhaps it would be clearer by the end of summer.

You have consulted us because you believe the development may affect: Setting of Category A Listed buildings: o Old Royal High School o St Andrew’s House o Regent Terrace o Burns’ Monument o Monuments on Calton Hill Setting of Scheduled Monuments: Holyrood Palace, Abbey and Gardens New Town Gardens – Historic Gardens/ Designed Landscape – Inventory Site (Calton Hill & Holyrood Palace Gardens & Regent Terrace Gardens) Outstanding Universal Value [‘OUV’] of Edinburgh Old and New Towns World Heritage Site [‘WHS’] In addition this letter responds to the associated Listed Building Consent application (15/03990/LBC) and the Environmental Statement (EIA-EDB053). We have previously objected to the planning permission affecting some of the above heritage assets because we do not consider it is possible to deliver a hotel of this scale on the site without unacceptable harm to the historic environment (our letter dated 17 September). This letter expands on that response and confirms both that we object to the planning application and that we cannot support the application for listed building consent.

Swanston to Portobello Cycling Path Ross Woodside of the Edinburgh and Lothians Greenspace Trust (ELGT), previously the Greenbelt Trust, gave a presentation on the Pentland to Portobello Feasibility Study. Mr Woodside who is a Project Manager with ELGT, explained that it is hoped to establish a walking/cycling route which runs from the base of the Pentland Hills to Portobello on the coast in Edinburgh. The plan is to establish a green active travel corridor, avoiding road usage whenever possible, for the south east which would mirror the Water of Leith Walkway. The full report (50286 Feasibility Report 19.06.19) is available on the ELGT website at www.elgt.org.uk. A copy of the presentation slides can be found at: http://www.fairmileheadcc.org.uk/Talks_Page.htm Mr Woodside stated that the route, which is extensively mapped on the website, is thought to be the optimum route prioritising greenspace and ensuring segregation from traffic wherever possible.
