Merchiston Community Council

Merchiston Community Council meeting this evening - 5 elected Councillors present! ... nothing to do with the free bubbly at the end of the meeting (to celebrate the launch of the Community Council's new website) of course ;-)

... actually, for a Merchiston Community Council meeting I thought the evening was generally lacking in any real rancour from the serried ranks - one noticeable (and pretty deplorable, as far as I'm concerned) departure from the generally constructive debate was the appallingly negative criticism being meted-out to Planning officers ("weak") and Transport officers ("ineffective"), in their complete absence, by a senior elected Councillor.

Totally unacceptable ... but, sadly, not totally unexpected from those who have spent years trying to take responsibility for nothing - problem is, their still doing it even after being in power for a full year :-(

... on a more positive note - the new website is excellent and currently has a very handsome chap, third-from-right on one of the front-page photographs :-))

It's just possible I may have had one or two Bruichladdich before I made this atrocious spelling mistake ;-)
