Please see the following ‘Tell Me Scotland’ notification of roadworks on the Nunraw road as of Monday 7th February2022:
Power was installed to this mast last year. There are a couple more steps that need to be completed in order to bring the site live; unfortunately these are out of WHP’s immediate control but they are doing everything they can to get these instructed and mobilised. The best estimate for activation is late Spring 2022.

Triage are delighted to be delivering the Scottish Government’s new ‘Women Returners Programme’ across the whole of Scotland.
Our Review, Refresh, Return Programme will support women to return to good work or improve their work skills following a career break. It is delivered across Scotland as part of the Women Returners Programme, funded by the Scottish Government and administered by Skills Development Scotland.
Women aged 25 and above who have undertaken paid employment at some point in the past benefit from free peer support, CV-building, upskilling, and confidence-building before progressing back into work or further education. Launched in October 2021, the programme initially runs until March 2022.
The programme is tailor-made to each participant, addressing conflicting home and life priorities, via one-to-one or group sessions, online and in person. Emphasis is placed on navigating caring responsibilities and back-to-work anxiety while capitalising on past qualifications and work experience.
If you or someone you know might benefit from our support, please get in touch via our website www.triagecentral.co.uk or by calling 07708 473 437

Garvald Village Hall Committee
It was great to see so many Garvald village residents gather at the event to celebrate Christmas both outside and inside the village hall.
As you know the hall provides a wonderful communal resource for all of us and also for those beyond the village who can book it for special occasions.
The hall is managed and maintained by a committee of volunteers on behalf of the trustees. Currently there are six on the committee but there is scope for a few more. It would be great if others joined – new residents in the village are very welcome indeed. Meetings take place every two months with any necessary actions normally being relatively simple and not onerous.
If you are interested in joining the committee please get in touch with Gary McGregor via the enquiry form below
There will be a service in Garvald Church at 6 pm on Christmas Eve and a Watchnight service in Morham Church at 11.30 pm.
All your favourite carols – with a mask on!
Thanks to some very generous donations and extra soup money, the total amount raised for Edinburgh Royal ICU at the Garvald Christmas Social has risen to £1119.82. That’s fabulous! Thanks to everyone.
Following the advice of the Scottish Government, it is with a heavy heart that we have decided to cancel this year’s Garvald Kids’ Christmas Party.
Apologies for any disappointment this might cause.
