So disappointing to see Watertoun Road green being mowed to day. 31st May 2023. What happened to #NoMowMay ? We had lots of buttercups & daisies & dandelions @Edinburgh_CC @BumblebeeTrust @CllrBenParker @SteveAMBurgess Only one small patch protected with wildflowers growing now.

In response to local community feedback CALA are reducing the total number of dwellings to slightly fewer than 50. Affected neighbours on West Savile Terrace may welcome news that the proposed ‘affordable’ homes block will be moved 5 or 6 metres further south. #watertounroad 1/3

It may be possible to lower the affordable housing’ building to the north of #WestSavileTerrace at St Crispin’s Redevelopment #WatertounRoad by site excavation, if alternative drainage arrangements can be made. #StCrispinsRedevelopment #SARA @cameronrose @GPCC_Edinburgh 2/3

The reduction in height of the affordable housing neighbouring #WestSavileTerrace #StCrispinsRedevelopment #WatertounRoad may lessen the development’s consultative burden. Site investigations will be on Sat 17th April - eh9sara.wordpress.com/latest… @SteveAMBurgess @AlisonDickieSNP 3/3

The 2020 SARA newsletter now online - news of the CALA development at @StCrispins_Edin site on Watertoun Road. Grateful to @Edinburgh_CC for 10 cherry trees on west savile terrace - please water these to ensure they thrive. eh9sara.files.wordpress.com/… @MarchmontEtc @GPCC_Edinburgh
How do you add more trees to your great Edinburgh Tree Map? @ScienceAndMaps @sing_louise @MapNav_Tom We have sycamores, hazel and cherries in Watertoun road that aren’t on the map yet!
