We're pleased to report that – despite some minor ponding by one of the gates – the new swails proved equal to the task after the first thunderplump of summer this lunchtime.

Thanks go to the Edinburgh & Lothians Greenspace Trust and Sustrans.

New proposals ring alarm bells

 

They’ve been a long time coming, but new plans for elements of the 2.4 ha New Town Quarter site between Dundas St and King George V Park have finally appeared.

 

Chief Executive Jo Buckley (pictured) gave updates on the Dunard Centre’s progress at May’s New Town & Broughton Community Council meeting. We very briefly summarised them in Issue 351 (p.4).

Interesting points and clarifications for which we didn’t have room in print included:

• The Dunard Centre, scheduled to open in 2029, is administered under the name Impact Scotland. It is independently owned and managed.
