New proposals ring alarm bells

 

Chief Executive Jo Buckley (pictured) gave updates on the Dunard Centre’s progress at May’s New Town & Broughton Community Council meeting.

As you read this, copies of the June Spurtle are already thundering towards Broughton like cats urged on by professional couriers with no sense of urgency.

Police appeal for information

Police Scotland released a press release this evening which we reproduce below in full.

*****

Around 1.20pm on Tuesday, 20 May, 2025, a 76-year-old man was walking on Broughton Road near to Tesco when he was approached by a man and assaulted.

The man did not require hospital treatment.

The suspect is described as being between 60 and 75 years of age, around 5ft 10in in height, of slim build and bald. He was wearing light coloured clothing and has a distinctive crouched walk.

The Royal Scots Regimental Museum’s annual outreach exhibition opened at Out of the Blue this morning. Depute Lord Provost Cllr Lezley Cameron (right) helped launch the event.

As you read this, advance copies of the May Spurtle are already spreading across the barony like tree pollen chasing atopics out in the fresh air for the first time since February.

There are places in Broughton which some people still struggle to find.
