LIBERTON, MOREDUN, GILMERTON, GRACEMOUNT & INCH SHOULD NOT be FORGOTTEN by Edinburgh Council

Funding allocated to young persons initiatives will pay dividends in the health and well-being to these young people’s development into adulthood as they are our future.

Its about time the kids up this end get things done for them

I agree it should be shared across the city.

There nothing in the inch area for any kids, but plenty in niddrie an Gilmerton, but if the kids from the inch go to these areas they get hassle from everyone

I think Cof E council assumes South Side equates to leafy suburb , but pockets of need exist near to affluence .

I think it’s disgusting that our youth have suffered again. There is nothing for them to do. It’s always poor niddrie, pilton, granton etc. They give their youth the money but these youngsters come up this way looking for trouble so half them don’t even want it or are even interested it. Our kids have nothing. If it wasn’t for good trees I don’t think there would be one thing for the teenagers. Believe me I know about all the problems with the youth. Teenagers looking for trouble who came up this area looking for my 16 year old grandson with knives. My grandson had never been in trouble in his life. But due to the problems with these angry youths full of testosterone and territorial disputes my grandson is in prison now at 17 years old, and WHY ? Because nobody knows how to cope with them. EDC get a grip

This is a great club for kids of all ages .

Please invest in these vital services which make a huge difference to the children and community of South Edinburgh.

At least be equatable with funding distributions. Fair do’s Edinburgh Cooncil

I feel the youths in every area should be given the same amount of funding.

I live in this community and shame that not enough for the kids to do I understand there cut back but come on there need to be places for kids to play

Sick eh aw those piltoners and nitton bams prospering in the financial department. Mas life we deh get the doh they're aw gettin chined

I have lived in the Moredun/Craigour area of the city for over 58 years. I grew up here and also raised my son who is now 27 here and it is an area that has ALWAYS been neglected. It is time that this area had its fair share of funding and facilities so that the children of tomorrow no longer feel that they don’t matter!

Well done my son love you xx

They need the findings to keep the place opend and keeep there work up they do for alll the kids need to stay of the streets they say but they won’t help fund for this

Liberton/Gilmerton receives no funding from the Communities and Families Grants to Third Parties Programme despite many areas being in the lowest SMID in Scotland Youth crime in this area is at a crisis point with no dedicated youth work services to tackle this
