Because of her bulk – she’s “fairly close” to two schools

Edinburgh Council’s supposed “Education Supremo” has shown the city that it is herself that is definitely in need of education – and pretty damn quick. With having just cut 16.5 full time front line positions from Community Centres and herself bordering on obese she is really showing the citizens

Rosendale: Marilyne MacLaren is “clueless”

It seems our premature release of the CLD review paper has caused all sorts of problems for the rulers of Children & Families.

Yet more examples come out showing how the largest department in the Council and the one with the biggest budget and biggest overspend is still totally out of control despite a new Director and new Executive Member. This goes to prove that the posts ad infinitum we have ran about [...]

Children & Families still in the gutter with new council

It seems that the new broom is still stuck unwrapped in the corner since the SNP/Lib-Dem rabble moved in and hasn’t made it to clean out the trash in Children & Families.
As all staff members will know, there is a hiring freeze in the Community Learning & Development (CLD) section of Children & Families. Fortunately, [...]
