The Links can be like the Meadows for this part of the city - a huge attraction for all ages. To do this we have to be strong on issues such as dog fouling and drinking.
My name is Matthew Wilson and I teach at a local secondary school and live in Leith. I believe local politics is about helping make the small changes that improve people's quality of life and about representing an area in the different arenas that can make a difference to the local community. The new Leith Ward will stretch from Newhaven to Restalrig - quite a big ward, with a lot of different people. Leith itself has always had a strong sense of community. Now the Leith Ward is a collection of communities: and a councillor has to be sensitive to the issues in each of them. It is my aim that Leith Ward should have a councillor that is active with the local people, that communicates with people and gives the people of Leith Ward a stong voice in the city council.
I believe we have to make the right choices so that we can continue to have low unemployment in Leith Ward. So we can have good health care for Leith Ward. So we can have the best education system for our young people. And so we can start using 'green' energy and recycling more for the sake of our children.
