Tonight I made my first visit to the Drum Brae Community Council at the Rannoch Centre.
A great sense of community pride and spirit was on show tonight and I for one will be keen to be involved in the heart of the area to assist residents in their aims.
Key things coming out of tonight included a disappointing rise in crime (circa 14% on year) in Drum Brae / Craigmount. Police put this down to activity around Bughtlin Market.
Road checks were to continue at Drum Brae Drive.
The Community Hub & Library appears to be very well received by everyone in attendance and it's opening in January is eagerly awaited.
Cold Calling Zones were discussed at length. Interestingly, it was noted that each area must have 51% of residents willing to sign up to the scheme.
