Our streets are getting busier with more accidents between pedestrians and motorists especially in the Ashley Terrace area close to the school. Better traffic management needed.
Living Streets, the charity for everyday walking, wants to find out about parents' experience of travelling to school, so they can work with schools, local councils and decision makers to improve routes to school.

The UK’s betrayal of workers at Grangemouth is unforgivable.

But we said we’d do what we can to support Grangemouth.

That’s why we’re allocating £8.5 million to support up to 460 new jobs in biotech and renewables in the area.

This is awful, we hope she is ok. Our community has long been fighting for safer streets in this area. There are new zebra crossings planned for early next year... They can't come soon enough!
We hope she makes a full & speedy recovery

When will Edinburgh council make our streets safe? - delays are costing lives and traumatising families

Great turnout for Callum Cox for West Lothian in Whitburn today. By-election December 11th. Fantastic response for a fantastic candidate.

Reeves has ruled out a Scottish independence vote - ever. There starts to be an international law case for secession from the UK if democracy is constantly denied Scotland &UK policies repeatedly diminish Scotland’s wellbeing, for instance in closing Grangemouth refinery whilst supporting English.
