Councillor Mike Bridgman

You may recall that we elected 3 local councillors - Maureen Child, Stephen Hawkins and Mike Bridgman. You may also recall that we are now part of the Portobello/Craigmillar ward. Ipso facto, you may be interested in the following:

I'd like to make it clear I care about what happens in the Craigmillar area not just because I have freinds and family there but what happens there also affects us down in Portobello. ie if Castlebrae school is to close where will the pupils go, no road from Greendykes through to ERI means longer or more uncomfortable journey to hospital, housing etc etc.

As a matter of intrest how many Craigmillar community council meeting have Mr Hawkin and Maureen Childs attended since being elected

There was some debate last night as to whether or not Mike Bridgman has in fact attended a Portobello CC meeting since being elected. Most could not recall such an occasion, but at least one member seemed to remember Mike being at the Xmas meeting.

Peter McColl, who represents PEDAL, suggested that the secretary should write formally, inviting him to attend future meetings. Others felt that this was unnecessary since meetings are held at regular intervals and that Mike, as a local councillor, should be aware of the dates.

Mike, along with Stephen Hawkins, has been invited to submit a monthly report for publication on Portobello Online, where Maureen Child's newsletter is a regular feature.

Think it was the November AGM that was mentioned, Bob. Cllr Bridgman doesn't appear as being ' in attendance' in the minutes of that meeting, but perhaps he put in an appearance after the meeting was closed and we moved onto the 'social' aspect. If he did it must have been after I left. I do remember Kenny MacAskill being there.

Yes, of course you are right - there is no meeting in December. Didn't someone recall him eating a sausage roll?

What fixation? I'm just linking to a local news story about a local councillor. If I can obtain details for travelling expenses claimed by Maureen and Stephen I will be happy to report on that as well. Presumably, the EN didn't consider their claims to be newsworthy.

Stephen has told me that he does intend to submit his monthly report for publication on Portobello Online.

Mike takes the credit for keeping the creches open in today's EN:
