We represent the interests of residents of the communities of Gorgie and Dalry in Edinburgh. Come along to our meetings at 7-9pm on the first Monday of every month (except January and July). Our members are volunteers and have a wide range of interests and skills; whether you want to promote a community activity or are concerned about an issue which affects local residents, we can either help you or put you in touch with someone who can! We have recently been involved in many local issues such as the potential closure of Dalry Swim Centre, the hotel and office development at Haymarket and student flats in Gorgie, Dalry and Slateford. If you want to get more involved in your community, or you’d like support dealing with the problems of living in the city (ie noise, litter, parking, anti-social behaviour, etc), then please come and join us. Everyone is welcome!
