Over the last few years the Alnwickhill Proprietors Association (APA) has gone from strength to strength. The APA represents everyone who lives in the Alnwickhill and Howdenhall estate and looks after all the common land that was transferred to their ownership. There are a large number of residents’ associations across the constituency and I’m always delighted to support their work.

The Committee, led by Louise Wrightson,


work tirelessly on a voluntary basis on behalf of all residents and have singlehandedly turned the APA around. I thoroughly enjoyed the AGM and I’m


sure all the residents are hugely grateful to the APA Committee for all they do. Thank you and see you at next year’s AGM!


The community in Liberton and Gilmerton lost a doughty campaigner following the passing of Betty Wallace. I worked closely with Betty on a number


of local issues. She was always championing the cause of local people in Gilmerton and especially the community centre. I attended her funeral at Mortonhall last


month and it struck me how formidable she actually was as a senior member of the trade union movement with a passion for fairness. She will be sadly missed by all the


community. My sympathies go out to her two sons and everyone who knew her.
