Festival of Light

To add some sparkle to 2020, CVE are providing Christmas tree baubles to decorate the Christmas tree which forms part of the Festival of Light display at St. Cuthbert's Church. A life size nativity scene is being built by Pentlands Men's Shed. Baubles can be sponsored via JustGiving with all funds donated to Make 2nds Count, to help give hope to those living with incurable secondary breast cancer.

Colinton area updates

Update: 15-Nov-2020
SGN has informed us that their ongoing project of gas main renewal takes in Colinton Road and Oxgangs Road North at Firrhill Roundabout. This will start on 16 November 2020 and is planned to last about 6 weeks. It will involve temporary traffic lights which will be manually controlled during peak times to ease congestion.

Craiglockhart Park and Craiglockhart Road will be closed at their junctions with Colinton Road, probably during the second and third weeks of the project. Emergency vehicle access will be maintained at all times. Parking suspensions will be in place in Colinton Road for the duration of the works, with access to driveways maintained where possible. This will be carried out on a phased basis and not all parking will be affected at once.
