Back when we were much more united against the superstore development, reference was made to other campaigns in Gorgie and Dunbar.

At that time, were there any objections to making those references?

I've just made reference, in the schools thread, to a campaign to stop development on a golf course in Musselburgh (although it's not directly similar - it is called "hands off our links")

What has changed - forum rules or some members' attitudes?

At the risk of taking yet another thread off on a tangent I can only repeat that I have no problem at all in you linking to this site. My only concern is that if people want to discuss what is happening at Musselburgh they should do so on a thread dedicated to this matter.

Yes, there is a tenuous link in that it involves a nearby golf club but the course is only being modified and its facilities improved from what I've read so far. The club is not under threat, the course itself is not under threat.

You seem keen to present a picture of the administrators abusing their privileges to censor the thread to their own advantage but the truth is that we recognise the importance of the topic and the interest being shown in it and we are determined to ensure, on this thread in particular, that posting guidelines are adhered to and that posters remain on-topic. If we seem to be a little over fussy at times I can assure you that it is with the best of intentions.

Thanks Bob - I appreciate your feedback on this matter.

Our Christmas update gave you the news that a new developer, BL Developments, had bought the former Scottish Power site and that they intended putting housing on it. This was good news and so far we have had a very positive response from this new developer. The PCATS committee had a meeting with Phil Myerscough, the managing director, and he has also given a short presentation to the Community Council.

However, before any plans are drawn up, the City of Edinburgh Council wants to develop a Master Plan for the west end of Portobello to encompass all of the possible development sites eg. the Pitz site. We have been promised that the community will be fully involved in this Master Plan and the Council are currently going through the process of appointing a consultant to carry out this exercise.

You will remember how much we needed our own consultants at the Public Inquiry last March to argue from the communityâ€™s point of view. The PCATS committee believe it would be beneficial to make use of our own consultant when the Master Plan is being produced. A consultant who knows planning guidance would be able to advise us better of the advantages or pitfalls of a particular proposal.

We have almost Â£3000 in the bank from the excellent response you made to the fund raising efforts and we think it would be good use of the money to make sure we get the developments we want in Portobello. If you have any comments for or against this use of the money then please let us know by emailing me.

Letâ€™s look forward to getting quality housing on this site that enhances Portobello.
