Join us for our annual Drumbrae Community Meeting. You can meet some of the team working at Drumbrae to hear what’s been happening on site, find out what’s coming up, share your feedback and learn how you can get involved. It’s a great way to find out more about our plans for Cocksburn Woods as we share our designs for the outdoor learning facility and the surrounding landscape. There will be a presentation which will start at 7.10pm. Refreshments will be provided. No need to book, just pop along. All welcome. Visit our website for more information: edin.ac/drumbrae
Tree Monitoring and Planting Prep Volunteer Day, Fri 28 November, 10am-3pm
During this volunteer day we will be monitoring trees planted as part of a project with the Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh. This will involve weeding around the trees, checking the condition of the tree and recording if the trees are dead / alive and measuring their height etc. We will also be preparing some planting spots that will be used when local primary school pupils come to plant trees the following week. This would involve using spades and mattocks to remove the grass and loosen the soil. The volunteer day will run from 10am-3pm and the day will involve manual handling, tool use and walking on rough, uneven ground. If you would like to come along, please visit our website for more information and to sign up: edin.ac/fpp-volunteer
These will be our last activities for the year and volunteering will resume towards the end of winter / early spring. We will have lots more volunteer days in 2026 including tree planting, biodiversity surveys, path maintenance and wildflower planting. If you have any questions, just get in touch.

Councillor Kleinman has emailed about Vehicles Obstructing Driveways:
“An item of information for you is that since the closure of the Co-op car park there have been several incidents reported to me of vehicles parking in front of driveways in nearby streets resulting in homeowners being unable to access or egress their driveways. This has been an ongoing issue for some time in streets within the vicinity of BofA Primary School and the solution there has usually been for Stirling Council to install an Access Protection Marker (APM) ie a painted white line across the access area which basically means ‘keep access clear’.
Householders within the neighbouring streets to the Co-op site who are regularly experiencing vehicles parked in front of their driveway access may wish to consider contacting Stirling Council for an application form requesting an APM. Some recent applications that I have dealt with on behalf of householders have been successful although each application is considered on its own merit.
“
