Found this link http://cpol.edinburgh.gov.uk/getdoc_ext.asp?DocId=101864 what a load of crap, who writes this nonsense? Item 3.2 sums it all up “A new chairperson was elected who is committed to working in partnership with the Council to ensure the centre fulfils its role within the local community”. The only way the new chairperson is committed (Ilene Davidson) is simply because she is a Council employee.  

In response to the previous post, the answer is quite simple NO CHANCE. The Puppet (or Muppet) is still there.

I see in previous posts (8 in total) that various questions have been asked about Ilene “The Puppet” Davidson’s and her suitability of being Chairperson down in Leith Centre. To date I cannot see any of the answers to the questions asked of her or her employers (the Council). I assume that this has been resolved. I personally would like to see the response posted giving satisfactory explanations to her actions. The phrase “Puppet” seems to be an understatement and “Muppet” would be more appropriate.

Further information will come out to you between now and the 30^th but please put this date in your diary now as we all need to work together at this difficult time.

‘Diversion’s so complicated, you need sat-nav’

A DIVERSION set up to help customers reach shops affected by trams road works is so complicated the drivers will need satellite navigation equipment to follow it, angry traders said today. The roadwork’s on Leith Walk, by Jane Street, started yesterday and are set to continue for the next 12 weeks, cutting off businesses on the street for one of the year’s busiest periods.

The Rainy Day Has Arrived – Unfortunately It Is Not Your Rainy Day, It’s Fraudster Rosendale’s (£13.5 million Black Hole) He’ll Take Your Reserves To Bail Himself Out Though. 

There is no level to which the Fraudster Rosendale and his partner Christine “Hard As Nails” Mackay will stoop to reduce the effectiveness of these voluntary community associations and after school clubs. Local people step up to the plate (and take on the legal and social responsibility) to get involved in community activities, social inclusion I believe the Council call it, and when they make a fist of it - Rosendale and Mackay - decide that they will punish their organisations by stripping away their buildings, services, resources and reserves. 

Like our mother and sister sites, Edsucks The Rosendale “Black Hole” Hitlist and Piltonsucks Smash And Grab., we are disgusted at the actions of these two loathsome individual Council officials and there unlimited capacity in outright contempt for local people and the organisations that have provided community services, in partnership with the Council, for the last 30 years or more. It looks to us that the writing is on the wall for any organisation that has acted prudently and managed to accrue some financial reserves for that imminent rainy day. What are these newly elected Councillors doing? Why are the Fraudster Rosendale and “Hard As Nails” Mackay being allowed to destroy invaluable community capacity, voluntary organisations and other local front-line services to make up for their ineptitude in financial management matters? 

Don’t be surprised if, in the very near future, your organisation/s are presented with  request/s to make substantial financial contributions to the profligate Rosendale’s reckless spending spree at Waverley Towers of (£35 million). They don’t care a sausage whether your child is able to attend a local youth club or after school club. If the school or community centre you use is no longer open, clean and staffed, because the Fraudster and Hard As Nails are not prepared to pay the Janitors overtime or the buildings have been closed alltogether (or are Rosendaled), or your adult education class is cancelled for good. They will not so much as flinch when they are having a ‘guid neck full’ in the Café Royal of a Friday  with those other like-minded cohorts in Children and Families. The Rosendales have now ensured that the term ‘Children and Families’ is a full - blown an oxymoron. It now stands for City of Edinburgh Council ‘Cheats and Fraudsters’.
