All gone home

Don't know about you but when I pulled the cutains back at 6am I nearly screamed - more rain...enough to send you back to bed...if only!

Last night was my first visit to the Muirhouse Community Council: no different (except for the personnel) from the other community councils in terms of their concerns and their commitment to their local area. One very interesting fact emerged...something I have never heard of before...two community councillors reported having visited Drylaw Police Station (on Friday afternoon and Saturday lunchtime) to find it closed - shut to the public - 'all gone home' signs up on the door (I'm joking about that last bit). One councillor used the phone to contact Bilston call centre and was told the desk officer was ill and had gone home, then all the officers were drafted in for the Royal Highland Show, then later told the desk officer was away for lunch...strange old world when the 24/7 police station is closed to the public it's meant to serve and then can't even get the story straight as to why...all 3 councillors there were pretty annoyed and it will be collectively taken up on Thursday when we meet at Drylaw Police Station - hope we can get in!
