Hello
I took a walk along the WoL path recently to look at the spring flowers we planted and was very disappointed by the amount of rubbish that has accumulated around Coalie Park and along the paths.
A joint cleanup has been arranged with the WoL Conservation trust for Sunday 28th February 10.30am – 1pm.
As usual we are meeting in Coalie Park – this link shows where it is: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=326617&Y=676480&A=Y&Z=110
Hope to see you there.
Best wishes
Don Giles

In 2014, local people said that alcohol was a factor in some of the issues which needed to be prioritised. Those views are supported by statistical information which tells us that alcohol impacts on the Leith Neighbourhood Partnership area in a number of ways.
The City of Edinburgh’s Licensing Board regularly produce a statement on how they will carry out licensing in the city and the Partnership is asked to say how it would like this done in Leith. The Partnership would like to be sure that what it says is the correct view of local people. So it would like to know more about local people’s experience and views on alcohol. Continue reading
