Update from Trinity Community Council

I hope you had a great summer.  Autumn is here and with it comes
weeding, tree pruning and, of course, Community Council sessions!

Monday’s meeting will be particularly significant as we say goodbye to
several faces who have done sterling service for the community of
Trinity over many years.  We will miss your selfless efforts on all our
behalfs but hope that you will never be far away and will keep popping
in to keep us right.

However, like the passing of the seasons, this also presents
opportunities.  TCC now has no fewer than 6 vacancies.  We have loads of
great ideas and some huge projects inside and nearby our area but need
help to carry them out and to engage.  Without that, they will never
move from ideas to real improvements in all our lives.  So why not come
along on Monday and get involved?  Agenda attached (below).

And as a bonus, Monday’s meeting will hear directly from Edinburgh
Council’s Head of Finance about how Edinburgh gets that £1bn every year
and the challenges that brings. Don’t start pruning that magic money
tree just yet!

I hope to see you on Monday.

Best wishes,
