Muirhouse: It’s your choice on Saturday

The St Paul’s and Muirhouse participatory budgeting (PB) event takes place this Saturday – and you can have your say in how funds should be allocated to local initiatives.
Parish minister Steve Ashley-Emery said: “We have a possible nine applicants to present to the community on Saturday and we have Ben McPherson and Michelle Thomson coming along to the event and presenting cheques. It would be great to see local people coming along to support this community initiative”.
The event at the Old Kirk & Muirhouse Parish Church starts at 10am – free refreshments, all welcome.
