What to do about the old toilet block?
Your views needed before 24 November!
After some consideration, we think that the limited purposes to which the building might be used will make it difficult to access the funding necessary to refurbish it.
But what to do?
Suggest the City Council make it available for commercial lease?
Suggest the City Council demolish it?
Do you have ideas for uses?
Would you prefer demolition?
Do you want to become involved in this issue?

Chess at the Fun Day, Sunday 31 August
Corstorphine Chess Club will be there! Here’s some information about them:
CORSTORPHINE CHESS CLUB
(Sponsored by DMD Law LLP)
Corstorphine Chess Club meets each Monday from the beginning of September to the end of June from 7 to 10pm in the Guild Room of St Anne’s Church 1 Kaimes Road. We are always glad to see new or prospective members of any age or gender, whether experienced or new to the game.
We have 2 teams of 6 players, one in Division 1 and one in Division 3 of the Chess Edinburgh Leagues, and also enter a few other team and individual competitions as well as having our own domestic competitions.
However, it is not all competitive. Most Mondays we just play friendly games among ourselves. Two of our members also teach chess at Roseburn Primary School.
Come along and give it a try without obligation, visit our web-site at www.corstorphinechess.co.uk or contact me for more information.
