Derek Henderson becomes the new Education Convener. The Council subscribed to Friends of the Earth for the year 1999-2000. Future work Alan Harper and John Ferguson of the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency will talk about waste disposal, with reference also to the proposed Kaimes development, at the Community Council meeting on 11 October at 7.30 pm in Gibson Craig Hall. The Council hopes to move to a different pattern of activities, inviting more outside speakers to address meetings, which will be open to the public. Our Secretary Freda Morrison has resigned after a year's valued efforts, and nominations are sought of anyone, whether or not presently a member 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. We plan to mark the millennium by planting cedar trees and some bulbs in George V Park. Brenda McGovern is to be congratulated on seeing this project through. This is designed to upgrade and enhance the east end of the park. The City of Edinburgh Council will re-seed the grass.
