NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK

Submitted by Editor on Tue, 18/01/2011 - 14:41

A new residents association has been set up for Claremont Court on East Claremont Street. It fills a void after the last association was disbanded a few years ago.

‘We want to let everybody know that we're back and passionate about our building and the Broughton area!’ says Secretary Marie Renwick.

Representing 64 households, the group has so far discussed the (flat) roof, local antisocial behaviour, new waste disposal arrangements, and the possibility of organising events.

Their next meeting will be at 7:00pm on Wed. 2 Feb. in Broughton Primary School. Contact: claremontcourt@hotmail.co.uk. For the most recent minutes and the forthcoming agenda, visit Extras.

Still remarkably modern-looking, Claremont Court was  built in 1960 to a design by Basil Spence (architect also of Edinburgh University Library, Mortonhall Crematorium and much else besides). It now comprises a blend of social and private housing.
