Open Day at West Pilton Neighbourhood Centre: the show WILL go on
Saturday 27 October: 10am – 12 noon
An event planned to showcase the facilities available at West Pilton Neighbourhood Centre WILL go ahead next Saturday, organisers have confirmed.
The event – which has been planned for some time – was cast into doubt following a serious outbreak of antisocial behaviour at the Centre on Thursday evening. A large group of youths gained access to the roof of the Centre, throwing stones which broke windows and damaged cars.
There have been problems with young people getting onto the roof before, and the management committee had ordered anti-climb paint to deter vandals. Ironically, the paint arrived on Friday …
A spokesman for the neighbourhood centre’s management committee said: “We will be meeting with the Police on Tuesday to review Thursday’s incident and discuss ways in which we can address antisocial behaviour.
“However we want to assure local people and members of the public that our Open Day goes ahead as planned next Saturday. West Pilton Neighbourhood Centre is a community asset and some people don’t know what’s n offer here. Saturday’s event is an opportunity to see for yourself what the Centre has to offer.”
