Trinity Academy Parent Update Dec 2018
Trinity Academy Wave 4 Replacement Project Update for Parents Background The focus of the Wave 4 Infrastructure Investment Programme is the replacement of seven secondary schools throughout the city which have not benefitted from any investment through the PPP1, PPP2 or Wave 3 investment programmes. The schools are Balerno High School, Castlebrae High School, Currie High School, Leith Academy, Liberton High School, Trinity Academy and Wester Hailes Education Centre (WHEC). In a report to the Education, Children and Families Committee on the 22 May 2018 the following criteria were noted as being those on which future infrastructure investment in secondary schools would be prioritised through the Wave 4 programme: Any existing building structure identified as having a short life expectancy would be top priority. Any existing building where core facilities do not support the necessary size of the expected future school roll would be a high priority. Priority for any remaining schools would be determined based on the combined condition and suitability scores. A further report to the Education, Children and Families Committee on 21 June 2018 provided the results of the prioritisation process and the Committee approved the following recommendations to: Agree that the current wave 4 capital allocation of £25m is aligned to delivery of the Castlebrae High School replacement and Bangholm sports facility (Trinity Academy) projects. Agree that a report is submitted to the Finance and Resources Committee which will include details of the capital and revenue implications of proceeding with the delivery of the Castlebrae High School replacement and Bangholm sports facility (Trinity Academy) projects. Agree that the report to Finance and Resources Committee also includes detailed business cases for all of the other projects identified so that consideration can be given to how these projects could be funded in the future. -

Annual Review 2018 – 19
ANNUAL REVIEW 2018 – 19 “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela - 2 Foreword… 2018-19 was a year of self-reflection for the Active Schools team, having completed the Insights Personality test. Understanding others and appreciating our differences was one of the key learnings. This programme helped us build valuable working relationships and a network of partners, allowing Active Schools to make the impact they have made this year. The Active Schools team continue to work with and nurture senior pupils who officiate, coach, organise competitions, become Young Ambassadors who are our decision makers. Gaining relevant sports qualifications and valuable experience in delivery, the young people are able to Jude Salmon develop their employability skills. Active Schools Manager In today’s world we are affected by factors including stress, mental health, obesity and poverty. Taking part in sport and physical activity truly does make a difference to our lives and I hope that some of the stories you are about to read will illustrate this to you. The phrase, ‘healthy body, healthy mind’ says it all. Our bodies were designed to move and when we keep them healthy, we have a better outlook on life, and on learning. The most wonderful part of keeping fit and healthy is that it is fun, but as this annual review shows, it can also open doors into future careers through volunteering and coaching. -
North West Locality Open Space Action Plan
North West Locality Open Space Action Plan March 2017 North West Edinburgh Open Space Action Plan (March 2017) Introduction This is one of four Open Space Action Plans to support delivery of Open Space 2021, Edinburgh’s Open Space Strategy. Open Space is a key element of Edinburgh’s physical, social and environmental fabric and Open Space 2021 sets guiding standards for existing and new open space provision as the city grows. Through standards based on open space quality, size and distance from homes, the Strategy aims to increase the number of people that can benefit from greenspaces that are sustainably managed, biologically diverse and contribute to health and wellbeing. The Open Space Profile shows how the Locality compares to the overall picture of open space across the city, highlighting changes to provision. It is a working plan, to be reviewed periodically to capture collective efforts which lead to the improvement and extension of Edinburgh’s green network. Actions, including estimated costs, may be subject to review, further feasibility studies and change. The Action Plan sets out proposals to help reduce inequalities in access to good quality open space and play provision. In time, it will reflect local environment priorities emerging through co-production of Locality Improvement Plans by Community Planning partners. The first version shows citywide priorities identified by Edinburgh’s annual parks quality assessment and actions carried forward from the existing Play Area Action Plan (2011-16) and previous Open Space Strategy (2010). The Action Plan will co-ordinate ongoing open space management actions with those relating to development, including changes arising from individual planning decisions and the delivery of new parks and play areas through the adopted Edinburgh Local Development Plan (LDP). -
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. -
