This is the last Friday before Christmas and historically the night for everyone to go out after finishing work – most people will be on holiday from today. Beware – you have been warned.
Braid Road
Braid Road should be reopened by now three years after it was first closed as part of the Covid related Spaces for People measures.

Edinburgh Garden Partners
Edinburgh Garden Partners say they will be looking for a new volunteering development coordinator in the New Year as Greta who made up half of the team has just left to go on a big adventure. The organisation links those with gardens which are too big for them to manage with people who want a space to grow their own vegetables and flowers.
If you would like to know more then have a look at their website.
On New Year’s Day
Although Christmas comes first you are invited to make your New Year’s Day plans now – there is a wealth of free music on offer at various venues in the city centre.
Aidan O’Rourke of Lau was part of the team which has curated the line up.
New defibrillator
Ideal Electrical Solutions (IES) has installed a new defibrillator outside their office at 4-5 Parsons Green Terrace EH8 7AN as a way of saying thank you to their neighbourhood.
IES said: “This new ‘iPad SPR Semi Auto AED’ defibrillator is available 24/7, ready to assist in any cardiac emergency. In case of an emergency all you need to do is call 999 or 112 and tell the emergency call handler the code displayed on the front of the defibrillator.”
