There are to be 92 houses built at Inverleith Mill, with access via Blinkbonny Road, but the application to build 11 houses at Veitch's has not yet been determined. The council decided to object on grounds of general amenity to a plan to build a store at 93 Lanark Road West. The council hope to move to a different pattern of activities, inviting more outside speakers to address meetings, which will be open to the public. Pentlands MP Lynda Clark has agreed in principle to be one of the early speakers. Our Secretary Freda Morrison has resigned and nominations are sought of people, whether or not presently members of the council, who may be interested in taking on this position.
Informal enquiries are welcome.
There are also two vacancies for ordinary members of the council, so expressions of interest are invited for these as well. A speaker from the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency will address the council at some future date, specifically on methods of waste disposal. This will help inform views on the Kaimes development. Police report A burglary in Lanark Road West in July netted over eight thousand pounds worth of property. Another break in at Forth View Crescent resulted in a thousand pounds of property being stolen.
