Edinburgh West MP Christine Jardine, Edinburgh Western MSP Alex Cole-Hamilton and Councillor Robert Aldridge have always opposed SNP and Labour plans to build housing on this site.

There are serious concerns that major new housing will make a bad traffic situation at the Barnton junction and Queensferry Road even worse. 

Clermiston Tower on Corstorphine Hill is a fantastic historic site. It is great news that successful fundraising by the Friends of Corstorphine Hill will be added to by the council to allow badly needed renovation works.

The council is working through a major review of janitorial support in schools and community centres. The SNP and Labour administration is looking to make big savings in the service.

With the massive amount of new housing planned for Gyle, Edinburgh Park and West Craigs, local MSP, Alex Cole-Hamilton
has launched a campaign to see a new GP practice established that will serve the Gyle and South Corstorphine.

Following the worries over school buildings last year the council has looked at other public buildings. Residents will be aware that over the festive period the Drum Brae Leisure Centre gym and Studio 1 had to be closed during strong winds. It appears that the newer part of the Leisure Centre has similar problems to those identified in the affected schools.

In January local Lib Dem MSP Alex Cole-Hamilton hosted a second public meeting at East Craigs Church Centre to address the issue of antisocial behaviour in Bughtlin Market and East Craigs.
