The proposal will include two multi-storey car parks on the perimeter of the site, including vehicular electric charging. The site has exceptional public transport links, including two train stations, two tram stations and good bus links. The site will link to dedicated cycle and pedestrian routes as well as provide over 900 cycle spaces.

Parabola, the award winning developer and investor, who own the 43 acres of undeveloped land to south of the existing Edinburgh Park has confirmed that it has now formally received its planning permissions for the first phase of the creation of a new quarter of the city.

DISCONTINUATION - PUTTING GREEN. Unfortunately, due to all the recent inclement weather and last year’s reduction in usage, we will be discontinuing the putting facilities. However, we will be looking at other options and uses within the area, for Edinburgh Park Staff.
PET OF THE MONTH EPML, are trying to support the work of the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home and they have asked us to promote animals that seem to be having difficulty finding forever homes.
CLYDE STAR
Ref: CA7500-Cat Age: 8 years
Breed: Domestic (short hair) Size: Small
Sex: Female
Star is a lovely cat who likes being fussed when she is in the mood and likes a comfy bed or a nice cardboard box to snuggle up in when she wants some time to herself. She is looking for a home with access to an outdoor space where she can go to play and explore her surroundings. She loves playing with toys that dangle from a stick and always has lots of fun with some catnip. Star is looking for an owner who has owned a cat in the past. She would like a home where she will be the only pet and may suit living with older children who are aged 14 years old or more.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ONE OF OUR PETS, PLEASE VISIT US AT 26 SEAFIELD ROAD EAST, EDINBURGH
Ref: DO2938-Dog Age: 4 years
Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier
Size: Medium
Sex: Male
Clyde is a nervous boy who has always found meeting new people very stressful. We have been doing lots of work on building his confidence, and as long as the new people he meets have food to distract him, he is much better and finds the process much less stressful. He didn’t have any socialisation with other dogs before he came to stay with us, but he is now confident to walk past dogs when he is out for walks on his lead. He is very energetic and loves to be on the go, he enjoys getting out for long walks, and likes to burn off some energy while chasing around after his toys. He is looking for a quieter home, without children, where he can be the only dog. He needs an active owner who will enjoy walking as much as he does, and who is dedicated to continuing his work on his socialisation skills and confidence building.
