Sun comes out for Granton gardeners' BBQ

What a difference some sunshine makes!

A steady stream of local residents – and at least one wee visitor from Pilton! – popped into the Granton Community Garden this afternoon to enjoy a barbecue. Much of the food was grown in the community garden – doesn’t it always taste better when you’ve grown it yourself?

Stolen school files recovered

Dozens of school pupil files that were stolen from a city council worker’s home during a burglary have been recovered. The files contained information about  Broughton High, Granton and Forthview Primary School pupils who have had contact with the Education Welfare Service.

It’s understood that the data records, stolen during a break-in last month, concerned the childrens’ school attendance.

A city council spokesperson said: “The files were recovered on Wednesday after the car that had been used in the robbery was found. The files do not appear to have been tampered with and we have sent a letter out to all the families to let them know this.”
