As you read this, advance copies of the February Spurtle are already appearing across Broughton like buses whispering over setted potholes in the small hours of the night.

Yesterday, councillors on the Planning Committee voted to take forward draft non-statutory guidance on purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) for public consultation. 

The funeral service for John Dickie, founding editor of the Spurtle, will take place at Warriston Crematorum’s Lorimer Chapel at 10am on Monday 20 January.

Cold and clear.

And vice versa. 

But mostly cold.
