New Portobello High School- Where and how?

by **Bob Jefferson** » 17 Apr 2006, 12:07

So building on green space is OK as long as it's not on our green space? That seems to be the message I'm getting from many of those who oppose the Council's proposal. Don't build on our park but by all means build on the Jewel/any green space within a 5 mile radius and displace the football teams, the dog walkers and the 'ramblers' there.

If that's your position, fine. If some people now accept a school on Portobello Park and housing elsewhere in the catchment area as an acceptable compromise then, who knows, perhaps that is possible. But if that is the case then you can't really continue to play your 'greener than thou' card.

From today's (17th) EN:

Maybe this explains the council's enthusiasm for developing Portobello Park?

Just got sent a link to this site :

Looks like one wing of the antis/golfers have finally got a website!

I wonder if the different Golf Course Saving campaigns will send delegations to the others' meetings - like Musselburgh, Portobello etc the same as they do for village festivals and ridings.

Maybe we will see the rise of a national federation of Space Saving campaigns like with the Poll Tax?

Psst! Dada, Kittywink posted that link yesterday!!

Dada, this was announced way back on page 71, though I'm sure they will appreciate the mention.

So, that's two websites now. There's and there's the other one.
