Leith Links set for community council election – but local CCs fail to attract enough members
An election is to be held for membership of Leith Links Community Council due to the volume of nominations submitted, but it’s a different story for two local community councils: both Drylaw Telford and Muirhouse Salvesen CCs failed to attract sufficient nominations to reform.
The nomination process closed on 26 September and membership has now been confirmed for the city’s other community councils.

Lorna drums up a day to remember at Muirhouse Library
Muirhouse and Granton libraries held an event with Lorna Liverpool, author of the wonderful children’s book ‘A Dance to Remember’ on Monday. The event is part of the libraries’ celebration of Black History Month which began on the 1st of October and runs until the end of the month.
Lorna demonstrated African drumming and performed stories with arts and crafts for local primary school children – giving everyone a great opportunity to learn about the African drum’s significance in African culture, and of course to make some noise!
The children were joined by the local Living in Harmony group for Lorna’s session, making it a day to remember for all at Muirhouse Library.
Thanks to Declan McCann, team leader at Muirhouse Library, for the pictures
