I began in 1st year in a school that was falling to pieces, with the promise of a new school by the time I left Portobello. I left a school building this year that is in a state of near-terminal decay, with no new school in sight. The present situation is unfair on both the teachers and the pupils, who have to deal with crumbling classrooms and decrepit facilities. This argument about te new school should have been dealt with long ago, and I find it extraordinary that a handful of disastrously selfish people can hold up, and now stop, a plan that has the backing of the vast majority of the people of Portobello. The park is seldom used, and the building of a new school would benefit not only the children and parents of the High School, but the wider community as a whole.
I fail to see an issue on the grounds of 'common good land', since so few people use the land at the moment. Furthermore, the far more attractive and useful Figgate Park is literally a two minute walk away.
A new school needs built, and it needs built now. For the whole of Portobello.

I went to Portobello High School and I remember getting up to speak in front of Edinburgh council as early as 2005 to speak about the need for a new school Its shocking that its hasn't been built yet and the educational attainment of the thousands at Edinburgh's biggest school is surely suffering.

This legal tactic (appeal) to delay the construction of the new School would bring no benefit to no one but it is defo creating an unnecessary delay resulting in the construction cost to go up too much and an hindrance for the local community kids to reap the benefits from a modern 21st century school and be successful in life and bring a good name for the whole community.

We need this school. I understand that it will be a significant change for you to have lots of high school children in your neighbourhood, but this school will provide young people with space to play in and fantastic facilities for the wider community. For the sake of the majority of people in our local area, please drop your appeal.

I have a daughter in 3rd year and another due to start in Aug. Last night when attending parents night - I was horrified that I had to wade through the sewer in the playground from the girls toilets - the same toilets that flooded when my oldest daughter attended and myself (I left 20+ years ago) - this is not acceptable and a H & S issue! The school is no longer fit for purpose & a money pit. Surely the H&S of our children, our future is more important than a place to walk dogs!!
