Reminder we are in Clovenstone Drive tomorrow. We are super short on volunteers this week so anyone that can spare us some time we would be very grateful. We shall meet at 10am at the skip at 19 CD for the safety briefing and divvy up jobs from there. Thank you :)

Next Wed our clear ups come to Clovenstone Drive.

2 skips will be delivered for all of Clovenstone Drive to use between 10am-12noon.

Slight tweaks to our service this year:
- Everyone must bring their items to the marked areas on the street and staff will fill the skips from there.
- Working? No worries. Leave your items stacked IN THE MARKED AREAS the night before.
- Mobility Issues? Call or comment below by Tues 16th to arrange an pre arranged uplift.
Volunteers are central to make these days a success. Can you spare us any time between 10-12? Come along and there is various roles for all abilities to help out with. You can register here to volunteer: https://forms.cloud.microsoft/e/p12NRuqRNi or just come along on the day.
All volunteers who give us 2 hours of their time will be invited to an event held in our office later this summer to thank and reward them for their time

Have your say on how the council allocates their homes in Edinburgh. They want to hear from everyone as their survey includes feedback on EdIndex, priority categories, how homes are advertised etc. You can fill out the survey online at https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/sfc/allocations-policy/

The council is also holding a drop in on Friday 19th June at the South West Locality Office at 10 Westside Plaza from 9.00AM-12.00PM if you want more information or to give your feedback in person.

Work on the new steps at Quarrybank End leading into the woods is now complete. We have taken away the old timber steps that were too high, installed new steps and added a handrail. We hope this makes a significant change to people who use this path.

What other improvements would you like to see happen next?

Today’s Clear up found us in Westburn, and what a morning we had!
The sun was shining and we were ready to get stuck in☀️.

Big shout out to everyone at Currie & Brown who came along today, and to all of our tenants that gave us a helping hand. We couldn’t have managed today without everyone’s help💪.

Can you see your stuff being cleared in this video? Let us know😊.
