Leith Sucks.net

Nice article on the Edinburgh Sucks web site under the heading Strategy, what strategy, quote “There is also notice that community centre’s will be managed differently which may confirm an earlier rumor that community centres will no longer be a resource for the community but they will turn into profit centres and be taken over by council arms-length company Edinburgh Leisure. One of our contacts, who are thought by the Rosendales to be an “insider”, tells us that Rosendale wants to push this through under the guise of making cuts but his real motive is to push all of the voluntary sector down and stop all their lobbying.  It would also take out the pesky volunteer management committees that Rosendale feels is stopping him and his missus taking full control of most of the city - The Rosendales don’t realise just how bad of a strategy this would be”.

Christine MacKay has already taken over the control of Leith Centre. The current committee do not even hold the lease on this property, Mackay withdrew it in March. She turns up at most committee meeting and dictates what she wants to happen. Leith Community Education Centre will be the first centre to buckle under the pressure. And what are the Councillors Gordon “The Slimeball” Munro and Rob “Go With The Flow” Munn doing about it, sweet FA 

I would like to be a fly on the wall in the Rosendale’s bedroom at night, can’t be a lot going on between the sheets, it will be all talk planning the following day’s strategy and destruction.
