It's not long now until our monthly community council meeting in June, which coincides with our Annual General Meeting. 

This is a great opportunity for members of the public to come along to hear all about the work that the community council has been doing over the last year, and have additional input into proceedings going forward into the next year. As always, with all of our monthly meetings, community presence and input is encouraged! 

​The draft agenda for our AGM can be read here.

The Scottish Parliament's Economy, Jobs and Fair Work Committee is interested in exploring the impact of recent and future bank branch closures on people, businesses and communities across Scotland. They would greatly appreciate you taking the time to tell them your views and concerns.

A survey has been set up for this purpose and can be filled in here. Written responses can also be submitted, please find out more about doing this here.

The Parliamentary Committee would appreciate as many individual survey responses as possible - this is a big opportunity for us, the community of Balerno, to voice our comments on the loss of local banking services and the distances that are now required to travel.
​

Living in Balerno, we are lucky to be on the doorstep of the fabulous Pentland Hills, and all that they have to offer. The Pentland Hills Regional Park has just released their full list of scheduled events for 2018, and there looks to be plenty for everyone to get stuck into, and enjoy our local hills! 

Please see the full schedule below.
