The North Edinburgh News has today learned that the next meeting of the Granton & District Community Council has been halted amid allegations against members and the Community Council in general.
In a statement issued by the group Secretary, Isobel Macdonald, it states “Due to fact that some allegations have been made against certain members of the Community Council and the Community Council in general and that an investigation is under way into these, it is prudent that we postpone the next meeting until the picture becomes clearer.”
Its not been confirmed what the allegations are but North Edinburgh News understands that some local people were unhappy with the way in which the last meeting was conducted.
Local Councillor Cammy Day said “I have had a number of allegations made to me, around the financial decision making process and behaviour of some members, of Granton District Community Council. As a result I have asked that the Chief Executive investigate these issues and provide a full report on these allegations.”
He continued “I hope that this will highlight any concerns and allow any required action to be taken to allow Granton District Community Council to get on with representing the Granton area community, and the people that live there.”

Justice for the rabid.
Granton Community Council has to be accountable to the people they are meant to represent. Lack of accountability makes a mockery of our democracy
I could not agree more Anna. It is high time the people in that area know who they are dealing with. Wannabe politicians who do not have a clue about the community they are supposed to represent.
It’s about time that this has finally come to light. I’ve no sympathy at all and always maintained that they’d get found out. They did nothing for Royston School or the Nen or anyone else really so here’s hoping they get what they deserve.
