dalkeith

town centre

ver costly facelift to the centre was carried out a couple of years ago and has cased the centre now to look like bom site.

I grew up when Dalkeith was a thriving market town, plenty of shops, it is now reduced to banks, pubs and charity shops. Its such a shame that the Labour Council has let it go!!

The 60s buildings are not that bad. What will the 'posh' flats next to the Scottish Parliament look like in 40 years ' time? They don't look as good as Jarnac Court does just now.

Dalkers is an urban paradise! This is outrageous!

Boyders

With its crumbling 60's architecture mixed with greasy spoon cafes and dodgy pubs; how can Dalkeith ever be considered?

Should be twinned with Bierut rather than Jarnac.

No matter which route one enters the town of Dalkeith, one is met by boarded up buildings, from the South, old high school, north, Lugton Inn Motel, east, Ferranti building now gone, now a gap site, west-ish, boarded up Jewel and Esk College. Yes Dalkeith planners and councilors should receive a huge bonus for allowing the town to fall into such a sad state, however, Hollywood can use town centre instead of filming in Afghanistan.

Concerned.

Councillors, isn't it about time you got of your arses and had a good look at Dalkeith, its a disgrace, why did you let it get so bad?

All the 60's building should be demolished and cleared and a new shopping centre be built to the same standard as Fairfield House the Council HQ - not bad for the councillors what about the people of Dalkeith!!

AC

I agree it does look a bomb site, the council should be ashamed.
