soo let me get this right...the gonverment wants to distroy all the history of edinbrugh so its like all the other citys in the world?? if soo wtf are they thinking...every huge city in the world that has done that and forgot about its histroy has died of turists..i say keep the history and build around it
Re Grove st there will be a new playpark in the Sprinside development and the whole area will be better than the waste of land of the brewery. As a Fountainbridge resident and Mum I like the progress actually. The city has other good parks I lived closest to this one and gave it a miss.
Play-park is fenched off as at 22nd July 2010 - hundreds of homes unfinished and unsold. Commercial property dropped. Only building now is the extras student apartments...
Playground is still blocked off on Sunday 3rd October. Delegates attending the Rethinking the City conference at Riddell's Court visited the site were horrified by the Springside Development and recent build adjacant to the Canal where Lloyds TSB is pushing for outline planning approval for yet another multi-use development. It is thought that they wish to bail-out of the duff commercial property deals inherited from Bank of Scotland Corporate.

trust me new schools are built worse than those built in the 1960s they are so cheaply built you can fall through the wall where the only bit built with breezeblocks the most solid thing you'll find is the PE dept. which is only accessable to the "public" which pupils are not a member of
by the way i knoe for a fact that the new schools built involve demoishing at least 2 other older better schools the new ones are built out of cardboard and held together with luck and prayers no buildings now are built long term
You suggests that the entire Portobello Park is threatened, when, to answer your question -what will be lost? - 2 football pitches of 4 on the SW corner of the park. You also fail to say that what is proposed is a vital high school for 1200 kids. I am against the Meadowbank & New St plans. But come-on where's the balance? Lets get on and make sure we get a well designed community school and divert our zeal to stop the projects that are purely driven by short-term gain
