The minutes from our March 2021 meeting have been published. These are still in draft form until they are formally approved at the next meeting, but you can read them here.
Some highlights: Pump Track at Auld Gala Park Ellen from Gorebridge Community Cares gave an update on the progress being made with this new facility. A pump track is a circuit of bumps, banked turns and other features that are designed to be ridden completely by riders "pumping"—generating momentum by up and down body movements, instead of pedalling or pushing. A mock-up example of the pump track was shared at the meeting. This showed a small (approx. 20m x 30m) undulating concrete track, with a maximum height of 0.8m (mainly around the ‘berms’, which are banked corners of the track that enable fast transition from one section to another). The nearest portion of the track to the neighbouring fence line is approximately 20m. No concerns were raised in the meeting, and it was acknowledged that it was great to see how this project was shaping up which will be an excellent addition to our community. Proposed Development at Lingerwood, East Newtongrange & South Mayfield This is in the early stages of planning, no entry on the planning portal yet. This covers the whole area of land both sides of Crawlees Road, wrapping around the industrial estate at Mayfield and effectively joining Mayfield, Newtongrange and Gorebridge (Gowkshill) together. No indication on number of houses in the proposal, but likely 800+. There will be a public consultation meeting on 28 April, 4pm – 7pm, held as a virtual event. Details are TBC. Gorebridge, Newtongrange and Mayfield & Easthouses Community Councils are discussing how we can work together to respond. Skyrora Test Facility - 21/00132/DPP Representatives from Moorfoot Community Council attended to discuss an application for a rocket engine test facility in their district. They have arranged a meeting with the developers on 17 March, and are looking to gather any additional questions from us.
