Yesterday morning, following a meeting with the Director of Housing to discuss options for council house rent levels for 2015/16, I took part in a 'walkabout' round the Logie area.
The six-monthly walkabouts take place in a number of areas (Pentland and Blackness are other examples) and are a useful way to look at local issues and problems and ensure these are taken up and resolved.
Here's some of issues picked up from yesterday's walkabout:
 |
| Overgrown foliage across the pavement in Glenagnes Road to be trimmed |
 |
| Missing street sign in Glenagnes Street to be replaced |
 |
| Ownership of untidy ground in Logie Avenue to be ascertained and tidied |
 |
| Untidy area at side of Glenagnes Street pavement to be tidied |
After the walkabout, I attended the latest meeting of the Jericho House support group, a regular meeting at which a number of us discuss fundraising and other projects to support this important facility in the West End Ward, that assists those recovering from alcoholism. It was a very positive meeting, covering various of Jericho House's activities including charity fundraising.
