Two, large public meetings over the last couple of days.
Portobello High School meeting, held last night, had 200+ people in attendance, but was remarkably civilised and I was hugely impressed by the calm, rational arguments being put forward by the vast majority of people present.
St. John's Primary School meeting, tonight, had close on 100 members of the public present ... and again, very calm and rational arguments being put forward.
Subject matter has been the potential replacement of both schools with new facilities - badly needed in both cases - but with the possibility of some of the moves being on to local green space.
Another, wider public meeting next Wednesday in Portobello Town Hall - before the formal consultation ends on 30th October.
