Discovering Abercorn Division Edinburgh County Newsletter Edinburgh County Newsletter May 2013 www.girlguiding-edinburgh.org.uk Discovering Abercorn Division Abercorn Division is situated in East Edinburgh, and covers Portobello, Craigentinny, Duddingston and Niddrie. In Abercorn we like to do things a little bit differently from the other Divisions in that the division is split into sections (Rainbows, Brownies and Guides) rather than into Districts. We have recently seen a few leaders retire from their Guiding roles within the Division whose experience, expertise and knowledge will be greatly missed by Leaders and girls alike. We currently have 8 Rainbow Units (Craigentinny District). Over the last year we have been able to reopen 2 units which had previously closed for various reasons and have opened a new unit in Richmond Church where the Chaplin of Girl Guiding Edinburgh is the minister. The Rainbows like to be kept busy going around the rainbow roundabout and getting their Pot of Gold when they move up to Brownies. There are currently 7 Brownie Units (Duddingston District) in the Division, sadly even although some Brownie units have large waiting lists, 2 Brownie units have needed to close recently due to a lack of girls, but with the 3 new rainbow units running it is hoped that these Brownie units will be reopened at some point. The Brownies love adventures, like to gain badges, go on outings and love Pack Holidays. They are gearing up to their Big Brownie Birthday Celebrations at the start of 2014. This leaves us with the 5 Guide Units (Portobello District). The Guides like gaining GFIs and badges. Summer 2012, saw a group of Guides and leaders head off on an International Trip to Austria. They enjoyed the fundraising for the trip, the long journey and the adventure whilst they were there so much that summer 2013 sees another international trip this time to Switzerland. 1 A Senior Section unit has recently been started in Abercorn Division which is a great resource to the girls within the Division who have gained their Baden Powell award at Guides. It is hoped that the girls will be encouraged to continue their Guiding Journey and achieve their Young Leader Qualification along with other awards such as their Queens Guide award and we recognise that the girls are our future leaders. As well as the leaders keeping the girls busy, the leaders in Abercorn like to keep busy too, we have a few leaders finishing off the Adult Leadership Qualifications and some just starting out on their ALQ journey. We also have leaders who have achieved or are working towards other qualifications; their Large Scale Licence, Pack Holiday Licence and International trip licence to name but a few. Like most Divisions we have large waiting lists particularly for Rainbows and Brownies. We recognise we need more leaders to grow our existing or open new units. If you know of anyone who might be interested in helping us to grow then please register your interest by using this link http://www.girlguiding.org.uk/get_involved/volunteer/register_your_interest.aspx Grass mowing Do you know anyone who might be interested in mowing the grass at Trefoil campsite on a regular basis?

  • West Craigs Limited Response (7 May 2019)
    Response on behalf of West Craigs Limited 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 We act for West Craigs Limited, and have been instructed by them to submit a response to Scottish Government following the City of Edinburgh Council’s response dated 5 April 2019 to the Scottish Government’s letter of 7 March 2019. 1.2 The Council has produced four different draft versions of its Supplementary Guidance (SG) following the adoption of the Edinburgh Local Development Plan in November 2016. Our clients have submitted responses to these drafts, and copies of those should already have been made available to you. For completeness, we enclose copies of our clients’ submissions. 1.3 The Council’s response is 39 pages and accompanied by a significant amount of supporting material. The response contains new explanations from the Council as to its approach, as well as new submissions of policy and fact. These submissions were not provided by the Council when responding to third party representations on the various different versions of the draft SG. 1.4 Our clients previously raised concerns regarding the Council’s failure to undertake proper and meaningful consultation on its draft SG, constituting a failure to comply with the requirements of Section 22 of the Town and Country Planning (Scotland) Act 1997 and Regulation 27 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Planning) (Scotland) Regulations 2008. The extensive nature of the Council’s response illustrates its failure to provide sufficient information during the consultation process. 2 QUESTION 1 LDP POLICY DEL 1 AND CIRCULAR 3/2012 2.1 In response to question 1, the Council make various submissions on policy Del 1 of the Edinburgh Local Development Plan, and Circular 3/2012.

  • OPEN SPACE 2021 Edinburgh’S Open Space Strategy
    OPEN SPACE 2021 Edinburgh’s Open Space Strategy December 2016 Foreword Edinburgh is a capital celebrated for its greenspaces with the highest proportion of public parks and gardens of any Scottish city; a record matched by the number of Green Flag Award winning parks receiving annual recognition for their good management and active community involvement. Our green network has formed the setting for successive eras of city growth, born out of the natural landscape of hills and valleys, adapted from private grounds, rail corridors and from the regeneration of the canal and former industrial sites. Improving access to good quality green space for everyone across the city benefits health and wellbeing, supports urban wildlife and encourages investment in Edinburgh’s economy. This Strategy, Open Space 2021, establishes principles guiding the continued protection, management and expansion of our green network over the next five years. Key challenges ahead include the delivery of new parks and active travel connections as the city expands, creating inspiring places for new communities to socialise, grow food, play, keep active and experience nature, and which are resource efficient and climate-change ready. In addition to sustaining the quality of existing green spaces, there are opportunities for people to come together to create community gardens and allotments, to re-naturalise our ‘living landscape’ and to enhance the city’s historic cemeteries and burial grounds. We would like to thank the local groups and organisations that helped shape Open Space 2021.
