Last couple of days …

On Thursday, I took part in a walkabout with council officers round the Pentland area, similar to the one last Tuesday in Blackness, at which we identified and take action on local issues.
 
In Pentland, the following were taken up – amongst other issues :
Repairs to steps at various locations in Pentland are being undertaken
Overgrown bushes in Pentand Avenue are to be trimmed
and trees requiring trimming also reported
I have reported paint vandalism to a utility box at
Colinton Street/Saggar Street to British Telecom
Later on Thursday, I chaired the latest meeting of the West End Christmas Fortnight committee, at Blackness Library.    

 
We are very pleased with progress with this year’s events and it will be the biggest and best Christmas Fortnight yet!   
 
Christmas Fortnight runs from Saturday 22nd November to Saturday 6th December.

 
Yesterday, I had the pleasure of meeting Rev David Gray, new Minister at Logie and St John’s (Cross) Church at the church’s Community Cafe.    
 
I look forward to working with him in the coming years and wish him every success in his new role.

Logie and St John’s (Cross) Parish Church celebration weekend

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of attending the exhibition and afternoon tea at Logie and St John’s (Cross) Parish Church, as part of the church’s celebration weekend to mark the centenary of the church building.
 
The exhibition was really interesting as was the talk on the church’s history and the tour of the building.
 
Logie and St John’s (Cross) plays an integral part in our local community and my best wishes to the church and its parishioners at this important time.
