Around 25 people attended the initial meeting of the Muirhouse Centipede project in Muirhouse St Andrew’s church hall last week, and participants have come up with a number of ideas that could help to rebuild community spirit in the area.
A wide cross-section of groups and organisations from across the area attended the ‘blue sky thinking’ event – with a handful of ‘visitors’ from Drylaw and Pilton too!
Muirhouse St Andrew’s locum Minister Linda Dunbar said: “We were pleased to see so many enthusiastic people attend the event. They came up with some great ideas and at least two of these will be taken forward. Fablevision’s Liz Gardiner, who facilitated the day, is currently writing up a report and we will take it on from there. Time is a factor and our plan is to submit our project proposals to church authorities next month and then consult more widely on how we take these ideas forward. It was certainly a very productive first session and we’d like to thank everyone who participated on the day”.
