Profile Information

What's the name of the street where you live?
Elmwood Terrace
What would you like to gain from this website?
Meet the neighbours, Find out about local groups, Share photos and videos, Find out about volunteering opportunities, Find out about events, Discuss local issues, Promote a club or organisation
What is the first thing you'd do to improve Leith?
Kick out all the Jakeys. Seriously i would focus on better design of space which incorporates more soft landscaping within the built environment. A good example would be redoing the Clyde cycle path. Also stop the council playing polical football with school closures, and save the Duncan Resource centre from being shut down!

Hi Keith, I hope you made it to She'koyokh. They did a great gig last night. Another thing, we looked at your CV at the last Greener Leith meeting. Ally tells me you're interested in getting involved. I was hoping Aly and I could meet up with you for a coffee/tea etc. If you're interested would you mind giving me a date that suits? can you email me at charlotte@greenerleith.org ? Thanks and looking forward to meeting Best wishes,
Charlotte
