TRINITY COMMUNITY COUNCIL DEC EMBER UPDATE 2018 has seen some big items hit the TCC agenda. This issue looks ahead to some of the biggest which will be priorities for us in 2019. CITY COUNCIL TRANSFORMATION TCC received a presentation from the Manager of North West Locality Listening to and reflecting the views of Trinity residents whose priorities are set out in the Locality Improvement Plan at https://www.edinburghnp.org.uk/media/19536/NW%20LIP%20Priorities% 20April%202017%20(2).pdf Part of the idea behind Transformation is to better align CEC services RESTORING THE MONARCHY with the emergency services and NHS. This, it was acknowledged, AND IMPAIRED SOCIAL MOBILITY IN VICTORIA PARK is still very much a work-in-progress.

Walks Around the Parish of Colinton
Turn left into Pentland Road and admire ‘Stonehouse’ on the corner. It was the last house that Lorimer designed in Colinton. Then turn COLINTON right into Pentland Avenue, where several Lorimer-designed houses were built. ‘Colinton Cottage’ (No 23) was the first Lorimer house to be built in Colinton and was the Miss Guthrie Wright Memorial LOCAL HISTORY Home for Queen’s Nurses. Miss Wright was Lorimer’s aunt. Other examples of his work are ‘The Rowans’ (No 21), ‘Westfield’ (No 40) SOCIETY and ‘Binley’ (No 42). Turn around and walk back along Pentland Avenue as far as No 11. Just past this house, turn right down the path known as ‘The Shoot’ with its high stone walls bordering the gardens on each side. It brings you out at the bridge over the Water of Leith. Below the Bridge was the site of Colinton Station and the old railway line built in 1874. Trains carried passengers until 1943 and freight until 1967. In 1973 it became a walkway. Walks around the parish of Colinton Do not cross the bridge, but take the road on the left at the foot of The Shoot, then turn immediately right down a short flight of steps to a car park. Around this area, various millwheels have been scattered to remind people of bygone days. Turn right and walk Walk 1: under the road bridge on to the Water of Leith Walkway, on the route of the old railway. The Long Steps – Parish Church – Spylaw Bank Road – The Shoot - Old Colinton Station – Spylaw Park – After about 100 yards, a gap in the wall will take you into Spylaw Park. -
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). -
Imagining Scotland's Future
our Imagining Scotland’s Future an education system which is eth- ical in nature, nurturing individ- uals and thus opromotingpositive attitudes and challenging stigma and discrimination.

However, being impartial does not equate to passivity. That same Assembly instructed its Church and Society Council to help the Church to engage at civic, political and local level with questions related to the constitutional future of Scotland, particularly how independence might impact on the poorest and most vulnerable people. The Church and Society Council has made a commitment to making theological, ethical and spiritual contributions to public policy and decision-making with a bias to the poor, speaking for the Church of Scotland on these issues, speaking truth to power and bringing to that voice the authenticity of congregational experiences. Running ‘Imagining Scotland’s Future: Community Consultations’ is one manifestation of that commitment. We believe that it is vital to encourage public participation in this momentous decision about Scotland’s constitutional future. With willing folk and offers of host churches from across Scotland, we set about running a series of community consultation events under the banner of ‘Imagining Scotland’s Future’. We sought to create safe spaces for dialogue for people to think together about what values they want to underpin Scottish society and what shared vision we can aspire to. -
