It's not all about instant gratification.

Sometimes, you just have to wait.

As mentioned in Issue 346 (published today), community councils across Edinburgh will be appointing members early in the New Year.

Below are some facts and figures about the CC area covering most of Spurtleshire. For links to other community councils in the neighbourhood, see the foot of this page.

#Acts 9:3–8

As you read this, advance copies of the November Spurtle are already appearing in Broughton like Black Friday zombies lurching across town in search of a bargain.

Issue 346 begins with a sour-faced Bonnington mystery which has been bothering us for ages but we think we’ve finally cracked. Readers must judge. There’s news too of a long overdue fightback, some serious social problems in Bellevue, and the unmistakable sound of a bureaucratic big bird ducking an issue. 

Quiet moments in a noisy world.

#Friends of Warriston Cemetery

Councillors have refused planning consent for the proposal  by CSG Projects Ltd to build a 5-bedroom family home on Blenheim Place (24/01889/FUL). 

They said the proposal would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the site and would disrupt key views in the New Town Conservation Area.

Attractive creature. Handsome reward.
