Today the council meet to discuss some items which have caused controversy in the city. On the agenda today there are several matters concerning schools:- the Portobello Park Private Bill which might allow a new school to be built in Portobello Park, the report which recommends the closure of Castlebrae Community High School in Craigmillar, the proposal to move Pilrig Child and Family Centre to Craigentinny Primary School and almost as an aside, the matter of a completely new service to deal with the Statutory Notice system. In addition there are new vice conveners to be appointed to Education, Children and Families and the Communities and Neighbourhoods Committee.
Join us here from 10:00 am when we hope to provide some insight into the proceedings at the City Chambers. You will find all the relevant papers here on the council website.
