Community events in Muirhouse this weekend

Not just one, but two community events in Muirhouse this Saturday.

First up, The Old Kirk & Muirhouse Church are holding a SUMMER FAIR from 10am – 12 noon. All your favourite stalls including tombola, nearly new, gifts, books, DVDs, toys, home baking, refreshments and much more …

Then you’re invited to a community barbeque at May Court from 3pm.

If you can help with cooking, music and/or helping to make the place look good call Anita at CAN on 315 6405 or give Azad a shout

Your opportunity to influence Locality Improvement Plans

There are two more chances to help shape North West Edinburgh’s Locality Improvement Plan this week at community consultation events:

This evening at The Prentice Centre there’s a session on ‘North Edinburgh small area’ – that’s Muirhouse, West Pilton, Granton, Royston Wardieburn and Wester Drylaw to you and me, so it’s no’ that small! These traditional working class communities face a number of poverty-related challenges and tonight’s session will look at the draft action plan drawn up to tackle issues in ‘Greater Pilton’. Are the priorities right? Can the plan be improved? What’s missing?

Have your say tonight at The Prentice Centre, Granton Mains Avenue. The session runs from 5.30 – 8pm.
