  • Cocken & Carrington W Lasswade & Rosewell Parish Church July
    Cocken & Carrington w Lasswade & Rosewell Parish Church July Newsletter 2021 But now, this is what the Lord says – he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you my name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. … For I am the Lord, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Saviour; … Do not be afraid, for I am with you; Isaiah 43:1-2b, 3a, 5a Over the last fifteen months of the Covid-19 pandemic, there may have been many times when we felt like we were having to wade through mighty torrents just like the waters that Isaiah speaks of. There has been so much uncertainty, so much struggle to keep going, so much isolation and inability to pursue the normal activities we so enjoy with family and friends, and it all seems to go on and on with continuing doubt as to when we can feel more confident that we are safely emerging out the other end. In all of these times, it is good to be reminded that God knows and God is with us. Just as God wanted to assure his people long ago in Isaiah’s time in the struggles they faced that he was present with them to help and strengthen them, so it is good to hear God’s eternal promise today still: “Do not be afraid, for I am with you.” There is nothing that we face alone because of God’s faithful love and presence with us.

  • Lasswade District Civic Society Summer Newsletter 2010
    Lasswade District Civic Society Summer Newsletter 2010 IIIntroduction:Introduction: Welcome to the Summer Newsletter of the Lasswade and District Civic Society. Thanks to many people we have been busy. At our spring AGM we heard a fascinating account of the history of the area by Neil Stuart. In June we cleaned up rubbish and lorry tyres from the river between Polton and Lasswade and the villages, only to see them and piles of black bags promptly removed by Midlothian Council while we barbecued in the park. People have worked hard on the community garden which enhances the middle of the village. We have responded to planning applications, started a collaboration with other groups along the River North Esk to utilise its flow to generate renewable electricity along its length, worked with Historic Scotland over the future of the Mavisbank grounds, and opened up a campaign to improve the broadband of Lasswade and Polton. A big thank you to Sarah Barron and David Smith who stepped down from the committee this year and a warm welcome to Sheila Murray who joins us from Loanhead and Adam Landsdown from Polton. As always do come and join us. Full details are on the web site http://www.lasswadecivic.com (David Sugden, Chair) Footpaths Access to Mavisbank grounds from Polton We are trying to solve a problem of local access to Mavisbank grounds from the Polton end. The people living in the houses at the entrance believe that the route goes through their gardens and is therefore private. Others have enjoyed walking the circular route through Mavisbank grounds and the river path and are frustrated not to be able to link the two at the Polton end.

    Housing Land Audit & Completions Programme 2019 Housing Land Audit and Completions Programme 2019 1. Introduction 2. Housing Land Supply Established land supply Effective land supply Constrained land Greenfield / Brownfield analysis 3. Housing Delivery Completions Factors affecting delivery Affordable housing Windfall development Accuracy of the audit 4. Housing Land Requirement and Housing Supply Target 5. Schedules 1. INTRODUCTION The Housing Land Audit and Completions Programme (HLACP) 2019 is an assessment of the housing land supply in the City of Edinburgh Council area as at 31 March 2019. The audit attempts to programme expected housing completions over the audit period, April 2019 to March 2024 and details completions that took place over the year April 2018 to March 2019. Sites included in the HLACP are housing sites under construction, sites with planning consent, sites in adopted or finalised Local Plans and, as appropriate, other buildings and land with agreed potential for housing development. All new development, redevelopment, conversion and subdivision of both houses and flats are included but rehabilitation of existing housing is excluded. The HLACP gives a detailed picture of the supply of housing land in terms of the number of housing units that it can accommodate. It also sets out a programme of expected completions over the next 5 years and in the longer term. The HLACP comprises schedules for each housing site with four or more units. Smaller sites are not detailed individually but are included as an aggregate figure only. The estimates of programmed completions are prepared by the City of Edinburgh Council in consultation with Homes for Scotland, other private sector house builders, Housing Associations and public agencies.
