News from Cliff Beevers, Chair of Juniper Green Community Council
The Juniper Green Community Market continues this weekend: 23 February 2013 from 9am-1pm in the car park of the dental surgery on Lanark Road opposite Juniper Avenue.
The usual range of stalls will be present with bread, meat, cheese, veg and sweets to delight. In addition, the stallholder selling venison, pheasant, duck etc is back for a second month. Soap and Doggie treats are sharing a stall and as I write several other stalls are expected including a return for the really Good Fudge Company.
The community stall this month has been taken by the Juniper Green Tennis Club. Look out for Eoin Swan, coach at the club, and have a chat about lessons, joining the club and other events planned over the Spring and Summer.
Market goers can enjoy too the music of the Blue Moon Ensemble. Come and sing along until you are hoarse! Trot along to this month’s market, the going will be firm and we are all under starter’s orders. Seriously, do quiz the stallholders on their supply chain.
Councillor Ricky Henderson will be on duty from midday, ready to answer any tricky questions about the fine service offered by your City of Edinburgh Council.
PC Martin Redden will also be present so any queries about safety, concerns about traffic or questions about the law can be directed at Martin.
If you are a parent at the Juniper Green Primary School and you have comments about the new pavement and turning circle at the top of Baberton Avenue please make your views known to one of the community councilors on duty on Saturday, they are the ones in the tee shirts!
At the next meeting of JGCC we are expecting a representative from LRT to attend to address some of the issues raised by residents about the present 33, 44 and 45 bus services. If you have ideas on how to improve the service let us know.
Currie CC and Juniper Green CC are collaborating on the response to the appeal by Taylor-Wimpey that their plans for building on the Muir Wood field have been refused by CEC. Again, if you have opinions on this proposed development let your CC members know.
The “Clovenstone triangle” or more properly “Curriemuirend Park” is also being considered for development at the moment and a workshop to find out the views of the community will take place in Juniper Green Village Hall on 5 March 2013, between 5pm and 7pm in two one-hour sessions. Hope you can make one or other of the sessions.
