Summary Paper Statutory Consultation proposing to Realign the Catchment Areas of Clovenstone Primary School, Sighthill Primary School and Wester Hailes Education Centre to Accommodate the Proposed Edinburgh Park and Curriemuirend Development Sites Summary Paper www.edinburgh.gov.uk/edinburghpark What is being proposed? The Edinburgh Park area of Currie Primary School and Currie High School’s catchment area would be realigned with Sighthill Primary School and Wester Hailes Education Centre; The Bankhead Industrial Estate area of Broomhouse Primary School and Forrester High School’s catchment area would be realigned with Sighthill Primary School and Wester Hailes Education Centre; A minor section of Gylemuir Primary School and Forrester High School’s catchment area would be realigned with Sighthill Primary School and Wester Hailes Education Centre; The Curriemuirend Park area of Juniper Green Primary School and Currie High School’s catchment area would be realigned with Clovenstone Primary School and Wester Hailes Education Centre; Maps showing the existing and proposed catchment areas have been included within this summary paper. Who will the changes affect? The proposed changes do not affect any existing pupils or families. The areas being changed currently contain no residential properties. Why are these proposals being considered? Edinburgh Park and Curriemuirend Park are both identified in the Local Development Plan as potential housing sites. At the moment neither of these sites has approval for development. By undertaking these changes the Council is making sure that any future developments would be better aligned with available school capacity. Currie Primary School and Currie High School are also difficult to get too from Edinburgh Park. These proposals would make the journey to school easier for any pupils future developments in this area might generate. When would the changes come into effect? As no existing residential addresses are affected by these proposals, should it be approved by the Council, the catchment changes would be implemented 3 weeks after the decision to approve them is made. Why are we consulting? While no existing residents, pupils or families are affected by these proposals, the Council has a legal obligation to carry out a statutory consultation under the Schools (Consultation) (Scotland) Act 2010 as amended by the Children and Young people (Scotland) Act 2014. How will I know if my views have been considered? All comments made during the statutory consultation period will be recorded and represented in a final ‘Outcomes of the Consultation Report’ that we expect to be considered by Council in March 2020. The report will be published three weeks in advance of the Council meeting and parents of pupils attending affected schools and anyone who has responded to the consultation will be notified of its publication. How can I find out more about the proposals or make my views heard? If you want more information you can find the full consultation paper and other supporting information at www.edinburgh.gov.uk/edinburghpark. We have also organised a public meeting, as below: Venue Date Time Wester Hailes Education Centre Thursday 19 September 6.30pm – 8.30pm The meeting will open with a short presentation about the consultation and what is proposed, followed by a question and answer session.

    Edinburgh’s Great War Roll of Honour Colinton District Great War Roll of Honour: Restricted [Covering Colinton, Longstone & Slateford] This portion of the Edinburgh Great War Roll of Honour is part of a much larger work that will be published over a period of time. It should also be noted that this particular roll is also a restricted one of Great War casualties giving basic details of each casualty: Name, Rank, Battalion/Ship/Squadron, Regiment/Service, Number. Special awards. Cause and date of death. Age. Place commemorated or buried. Birthplace. District of Edinburgh’s Great War Roll of Honour name is recorded in. The reason this roll is presently restricted is that we would like to invite and give the greater community the opportunity to fill out the story of each casualty, even helping identify casualties that appear on local memorials that cannot be clearly identified or have some details missing. These latter casualties appear in red with some having question marks in the area that needs to be clarified. It is also worth noting at this point that the names of some casualties appear on more than one district. The larger Roll of Honour [RoH] will also include information about those who served and survived and again the hope is that the wider community will come forward and share the story of their ancestors’ who served in the Great War, whether a casualty or survivor. The larger RoH will contain information such as: Name. Rank, Battalion/Ship/Squadron, Regiment/Service. Born when and where? Parent’s names and address.

  • Kinleith Mill, Currie Design-Led Urban Regeneration
    KINLEITH MILL, CURRIE DESIGN-LED URBAN REGENERATION KINLEITH MILL, CURRIE - DESIGN-LED URBAN REGENERATION EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Built by CALA Homes, Kinleith Mill is the characterful regeneration of the former Kinleith Paper Mill site in Currie, an affluent and highly sought-after suburb of Edinburgh. Following the paper mill’s closure in 1966, the site played host to various industrial operations until its demolition in 1996. Vacant and littered with debris, the brownfield land occupied an 11 acre stretch next to the Water of Leith – a popular walking and cycle route – spoiling what was otherwise a tranquil waterside beauty spot. CALA Homes (East) purchased the site after previous attempts to build on it were thwarted by contamination, constrained access and complex engineering challenges. Today, this stretch of the river is home to a flourishing new community. Kinleith Mill comprises 89 contemporary homes, 22 of which are affordable, complemented by green open space and tree-lined walkways. It is an idyllic retreat, situated just off Lanark Road West, allowing excellent access to road and public transport links into Edinburgh and beyond. Paying homage to the architecture of the historic paper mill, the new homes at Kinleith Mill feature traditional red brick facades, punctuated by distinctive iron railings. Their impressive finish belies the host of challenges that came with transforming this brownfield site, and underlines the power of positive change achieved by well-considered design. PAGE 3 KINLEITH MILL, CURRIE - DESIGN-LED URBAN REGENERATION FROM DESERTED INDUSTRIAL GROUND... The first records of the Kinleith Paper Mill site date back to the 1700s. Development began at the dawn of the Industrial Revolution with the construction of a paper mill, which was powered by a waterwheel in the Water of Leith.
