Bored of hearing about the marriages of politicians? Don’t care so much about where the partners of party leaders buy their clothes from?
But do you care about:

• How public service cuts will impact on women?
• How the parties will address trafficking
• How the parties will ensure that all women experiencing domestic abuse and sexual violence receive the support they deserve?
• How the parties will ensure that human rights obligations are upheld

Then come to Edinburgh South General Election Hustings!
Organised by EFN and EUFS this event will give you the chance to ask the candidates from your area questions that REALLY matter.

 

Now that the sale of public assets and Common Good Land at East Market St to Mountgrange has been successfully challenged through the European Commission it is time for the council to rethink their strategy for the Waverley Valley.
Back in 2005 when the Caltongate Masterplan was first revealed to the public, members of SOOT put forward alternative ideas for development which would address the real needs of the area and provide a strategy for development.

Despite numerous concerns being voiced during the masterplan consultations  (in particular at the workshops and the well attended Community Planning Day ) Mountgrange's Caltongate masterplan was agreed with little consideration given to the issues and aspirations raised in consultation. This then formed the blueprint for approving the planning applications which followed.

On Saturday at an organised meeting of anti-fascists in Aberdeen it was decided to found the Aberdeen Anti-Fascist Alliance.
