Confusion over the timing of the Community Learning and Development (CLD) organisational revew continues apace ...... literally a few days ago, in a written reply to a question I tabled, it was "confirmed" that the review outcomes would be going to the Full Council meeting on Thursday 21st February - see 'question/answer' No.12 here.
... yet, just today I've seen a letter (sent outside the Council) from the Convener of Education saying that the review report will "come to a meeting of the Education, Children & Families committee in March". ??
I was about to say one of the people who gave these answers is wrong - but they were both given by the same person :-((
It's a mess - from start to finish it's been clear the whole process would lead 'to a subsquent reduction in posts' - para. 3.15 of the September 2007 report openly admitted it - and that's a significant part of why we've constantly voted against this specific review. It's going to lead to service reductions - plain and simple.
There's a new campaign-site trying to galvanise efforts to put a stop to all of this - here - do pay it a visit ... it could be your local Community Centre that's affected.

Looks like you need some CLD yourself:
"organisational revew continues apace ...
"

- I blame spell-checker: has a lot to answer for :-)
That website about community centres is rubbish and one sided. Who made it? that edinburghsucks idiot perchance?
Andrew, you really do not care who you get into bed with for your own political ends do you. shame really.

I'm sorry you obviously don't like the Community Centre web-site that I provided the link to ...
I really don't think that Edinburgh Sucks are behind it, so your last paragraph is a bit unjustified frankly ...

I that see the Council has acted properly in the regard of closing community centres and sacking the community agitators who allegedly work in them. Good show, well done CEC, a breath of fresh air.
The outcome of the Council meeting is also being welcomed by the readership of the EEN and the citizenary of Edinburgh judging by the comments therein. See here http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/education/Fury-as-learning-staff-face.3795214.jp#2505829

Thanks for the comment - I think we'll just have to agree to differ on this one :-(
