Whilst there has been a lot of troubling news coverage of Moredun over the last few weeks I thought it was worth highlighting some of the great work that is being done there.

This month a clean-up was organised by Edinburgh and Lothians Greenspace Trust in partnership with Goodtrees Neighbourhood Centre. About 25 (mostly children) took part and they collected an incredible 30 bags of rubbish.They have done their parents and their community proud.

These clean ups run across the Liberton/Gilmerton ward and have been a fabulous success. Well done to all the community groups who help organise and run these events.
