Events
Moorflix
Moorflix, previously known as Temple Community Cinema, is about to begin its' second full season showing films in the South Midlothian area.
Brass Band Concert
Moorfoot Community Council are organising their second Brass Band concert with Dalkeith and Monktonhall Brass Band on Saturday 3rd December 2011 in North Middleton Village Hall at 7p.m.
Everyone who attended the previous concert in April this year greatly enjoyed the evening, so we hope to see even more of you at this "mid winter festival" event. (Just can't type the "C" word in August....)
Spurlens Rig Wind Farm
There is a current planning application with Borders Council for a 6 mast Wind Farm to be located at "Spurlens Rig", which is between Howgate and Leadburn. At 125m, these masts are taller than those of other Wind Farms in the area, and parts of them will be visible from various locations in the Moorfoot Community Council Area.
FIVE LOCAL GROUPS BENEFIT FROM WIND FARM FUND
The Scottish Community Foundation today announced the first five grants made from the SSE Moorfoot Community Fund. A panel of local residents worked with the Foundation to decide how the funds, generated by the Carcant Wind Farm, should be allocated.
Grants Available
Moorfoot groups urged to apply for funding
A new charitable fund has been set up in the Moorfoot Community Council area. Local groups are being urged to come forward with projects that will foster community cohesion and benefit people living in the Moorfoot area. The 25 year fund – provided by SSE’s Carcant Wind Farm Fund - is worth approximately £4,600 a year.
A7 Petition Update
As a result of the highly successful petition that Moorfoot Community Council raised last year, regarding concerns with the speed of traffic passing the A7 junction at North Middleton, and subsequent meetings between Community Councillors, local police and Midlothian Council, Councillor Wilma Chalmers agreed to provide funding for a warning sign from her budget. As you have proably noticed, the sign is now in operation.
