  • Livingston gardeners tend their allotments, 07 April 2020<br />
<br />
Some gardeners are keeping their allotments in shape during the coronavirus lockdown. West Lothian Council have said they can use it as part of their daily exercise as long as they keep to social distancing rules.<br />
<br />
The West Lothian Council website has the following advice:<br />
<br />
Allotments<br />
<br />
If you visit your allotment as your daily exercise, you must adhere to the rules on social distancing and hygiene. Handwashing is especially important before and after touching shared surfaces such as gates and taps. Shared indoor spaces on allotment sites should not be used, to minimise the risk of virus transmission.<br />
<br />
The Scottish Government has published the following statement on allotment sites during the COVID-19 outbreak:<br />
<br />
Decisions on whether or not to keep allotment sites open during the COVID-19 outbreak are currently a matter for local authorities and other allotment owners. Those wishing to access allotments should note that the Scottish Government has instructed people to stay at home. The Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Restrictions) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 prohibit any person from leaving the place they are living without a reasonable excuse, and ban public gatherings of more than two people. People over the age of 70 are advised to self-isolate.<br />

Decisions on whether or not to keep allotment sites open during the COVID-19 outbreak are currently a matter for local authorities and other allotment owners. Those wishing to access allotments should note that the Scottish Government has instructed people to stay at home. The Health Protection (Coronavirus) (Restrictions) (Scotland) Regulations 2020 prohibit any person from leaving the place they are living without a reasonable excuse, and ban public gatherings of more than two people.

  • Livingston gardeners tend their allotments, 07 April 2020<br />
<br />
Some gardeners are keeping their allotments in shape during the coronavirus lockdown. West Lothian Council have said they can use it as part of their daily exercise as long as they keep to social distancing rules.<br />
<br />
The West Lothian Council website has the following advice:<br />
<br />
Allotments<br />
<br />
If you visit your allotment as your daily exercise, you must adhere to the rules on social distancing and hygiene. Handwashing is especially important before and after touching shared surfaces such as gates and taps. Shared indoor spaces on allotment sites should not be used, to minimise the risk of virus transmission.<br />

Burton's Biscuits, which is owned by the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan investment company, said the union was being unreasonable.  “Against the backdrop of growing economic uncertainty, the country entering a depression and rising levels of unemployment, we have made what we consider to be a series of very fair and reasonable offers, enabling us to provide job security alongside increased earnings.

Equalities Minister Christina McKelvie visited Ladywood Leisure Centre in Penicuik today where she was joined by local MSP Christine Grahame to meet volunteers and participants at the centre as she launched the new framework<br />
<br />
Older people’s rights are at the centre of a new framework to ensure people can remain active, keep working if they want to, feel safe, and access the services they need.  The Older People’s Framework aims to challenge unwelcome attitudes to and discrimination towards older people. It highlights the positive contributions older people make to our society and the economy, and has been directly influenced by older people who have provided their thoughts, stories and experiences, bringing to life the issues they’ve faced over the years.<br />
 <br />
Speaking at a visit to The Ageing Well Midlothian programme, Older People and Equalities Minister Christina McKelvie said: “Ageing is inevitable but growing older should not mean having to face barriers or discrimination, and one of the issues the framework addresses is the negative perceptions surrounding ageing. Older people in our society have much to offer and contribute and we are committed to supporting them.  This is why we are funding the celebration of older people at the Festival of Ageing, increasing digital inclusion, promoting fair workplace practices and ensuring we have a housing system which works for an ageing population. This framework is the next part of the journey and I am looking forward to an exciting trip, where we all work together to create the best country to age in.  You only need to look at the Ageing Well project to see the many positive examples of older people enjoying life and bringing joy to their local community. This is what we need to encourage.”<br />

  • Memories of a Lullaby - the need to remember and the wish to forget - is a one-woman show by Saras Feijoo about a true story growing up in Venezuela. It draws from multiple stories in order to reveal the constant tension between horror and beauty, desperation and hope. <br />
<br />
This piece explores how socio-political conditions shape us as individuals, while attempting to give a perspective on how reality differs greatly depending on where we are born and raised. <br />
<br />
This performance is a hard-hitting exposition of existence combining storytelling, physical theatre with visual art elements to give a full-on, yet tender performance by a performer with first-hand experience of the events she portrays. <br />
<br />
The show will be performed as part of Refugee Festival Scotland on 15 – 16 June at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, Edinburgh; 17 June at Borders Book Festival, Melrose; and Centre for Contemporary Arts, Glasgow on 18 June.

GMB Scotland organiser Benny Rankin said: "Burton's stubborn stance on this year's pay offer is an insult to staff that have worked throughout the lockdown at management's insistence.<br />
 Their refusal to meaningfully engage with a workforce that deserve so much better means we have been left with little choice but to strike for a decent pay offer."<br />

Alongside the challenging environment, this action may only serve to jeopardise our employees' ongoing job security."<br />

  • People of all ages gathered this afternoon in Portobello's Community Orchard at Donkeyfield by Brunstane to sing some wassailing songs. The songs, a mixture of traditional and more modern, were originally sung in orchards at this time of year to mark the start of the new year and encourage a good growing season. Members of Portobello's Community Choir, led by Jane Lewis, sang along with other locals and enjoyed drinks made from apples gathered in the orchard in what is now an annual tradition at the orchard. <br />
