Health’s off the agenda for Granton & District Community Council this month

Granton & District Community Council meeting

Monday 26 February, 7pm – 9pm

Venue: Royston and Wardieburn Community Centre, 11 Pilton Drive North

Guest speaker: to be announced

There’s been a change of plan for this month’s community council meeting. Helen Scammell, Co-Director of Pilton Community Health Project (PCHP) was due to address the meeting but she has had to reschedule due to inforeseen circumstances – Helen will now attend our April meeting.

I am now looking for a speaker for February meeting.

Looking forward to see you on 26th February.
