Supporting our proud village
We meet Gillian Cousin, our new Midlothian Council Communities Officer. She’s taken on a lot amid the lack of activity on the Newtongrange Masterplan and deterioration of our public spaces.
Returning from summer break, the NCC spent ninety minutes with Christine Grahame MSP getting feedback on transport issues and how to get the most out of our embattled council.
Thank you to all the people who entered the Gardening Competition and special thanks to Dalkeith Guerrilla Gardeners for judging.
Prizes have now been given to the winners 🥇

More community space like The Beacon at Gorebridge. Modern and accessible, for all different groups and clubs to use.
I'd just like the pool back!
Community hub
A hub. A hub that includes a large multi purpose hall, a free IT suite, a community cafe, creche, soft play room, meeting rooms for community groups and activities and centre for a welfare rights / money adviser/ job coach adviser, food bank/ pantry etc to alleviate poverty.
