Submitted by Editor on

As you read this, advance copies of the July Spurtle are already wafting across the barony like grains of birch pollen spreading joy and optimism wherever they fall.

POWDERHALL BRIDGE CLOSED

Council officials yesterday closed Powderhall Bridge – crossing the Water of Leith between St Mark’s Path and St Mark's Park – indefinitely and without prior notice.

 

The Council action came in response to the structure failing a recent inspection. 

 

EQUAL START BEGINS WITH THE RIGHT KIT

Submitted by Editor on

Leith Collective will open its free school-uniform exchange on Friday, 26 June in Ocean Terminal. 

 

The idea is to make sure every pupil can start the new academic year in August ‘looking smart and feeling confident’.

 

Good-quality uniforms, coats, gym kits, shoes, schoolbags and pencil cases are available completely free of charge, no questions asked.

 

This is the 4th year Leith Collective’s Sara Thomson has run the scheme', she says.
