Green prizes for groups

FIVE community groups from the Capital have been presented with environmental It’s Your Neighbourhood awards by the Keep Scotland Beautiful charity.

Claremont Court Residents Association, Craigmillar & Peffermill Tenants Group, GOALS in Greendykes, The Salvation Army, Ashbrook, and the Westburn Village Neighbourhood Council were all rewarded for their year-round efforts in creating beautiful, clean and green neighbourhoods.

Derek Robertson, chief executive of Keep Scotland Beautiful, said: “It’s Your Neighbourhood empowers groups across Scotland to change the areas they live in for the better – for their own benefit, their community, and for visitors. These groups should all be praised for the results they achieve.”
