SUMMARY:GPCC Meeting - June 2024
DESCRIPTION:Summary\n26 June Meeting: (Cllr. Pauline Flannery in attendance
 )\nDalkeith Road Bin Hubs: Ongoing local resident concern as hub sites are
  moved off Dalkeith Road into side streets and as real issues become appar
 ent on inadequate bin capacities\, missed collections and the seeming unwi
 llingness of the Council to take a fresh practical take on what has been a
  desktop-planned exercise. Resident comments and queries (before any ‘co
 mplaints’) seem to get nowhere.\nContact Cllr. Flannery at Cllr.Pauline.
 Flannery@edinburgh.gov.uk . Provide her with pictures of overflows. Get in
  touch with the Waste and Cleansing Service at: Contact the Waste and Clea
 nsing service – The City of Edinburgh Council\nCommunity Grant Awards: T
 he second round is underway with a closing date of 26 August for Southside
  and Newington. The Community Grants Fund (CGF) is a small grants scheme p
 rovided by the Council. Small grants of up to £5\,000 can be awarded to c
 onstituted groups for local community activity. Find out more here: Commun
 ity Grants Fund – The City of Edinburgh Council.\nPolice Reporting: Regu
 lar in-person reports to the community council are hard to come by. There 
 is no question about police endeavour but the South-East Division is curre
 ntly stretched. Whats App Group and Neighbourhood Watch links are a first 
 line of neighbourhood defence against miscreants. Tighten-up here if you c
 an.\nNewington Cemetery: Work on the damaged wall repair is progressing\, 
 albeit slowly. Volunteer work on paths and planters within the grounds con
 tinues as ever.\nCommunity Council Elections: We might expect these now in
  late Autumn after an amended framework has been agreed on how community c
 ouncils are run and how they can be (much) better supported by the Council
 . Senior Elected Councillors paid tribute to the important role played by 
 community councils at a 27 June Special Council meeting. However\, most ar
 e in serious need of new members (individuals or local interest groups). W
 ithout the active involvement of local residents with whom they look to wo
 rk\, community councils wither. You have to back them\, or lose them.
