Friends and readers. Our post bag had to be shut down for a little while yesterday due to the interest that our post on the threats and intimidation made to a member of the FSF funding panal by a PEP member.

Our post generated huge feedback,most of which made their feelings clear about any kind of threat or intimidation made to individuals whoever they may be.

PEP has some serious questions to answer,and we are sure that the Muirhouse Community Council will be unhappy that PEP is blaming them for this person’s outburst.

We now understand that these comments were made to the panal member after the meeting had closed,so we find it hard to believe that it formed any kind of representation from a Community Council.

Our readers were in the main disgusted that this happened with many justifiably saying that,no wonder people are put off being active in their Community if this sort of behaviour is allowed to go on.

We hope the panal member concerned takes action over this matter and if our post bag is anything to go by then the panal member concerned has a lot of support.

The manager of PEP and the chair of it’s management Committee are in hot water which may boil over if they take no action other than try to ignore it or make up some flimsy excuse.

Pilton Sucks heard of this matter in the playground of Royston Primary School from a parent who has now decided not to bother being active in her Community if this sort of behaviour is going on.

She herself saw what went on and she to felt intimidated.

Once again Pilton Suck’s and now a growing number of residents want a public appology made to the panal member concerned and action taken against the person who made the threats. The panal member has every justification to inform the police and in our opinion should do.

Every fair minded person will deplore this kind of behaviour which was intended to unquestionably frighten this member into saying or doing nothing about any application PEP makes for funding.

Pilton Sucks say’s,this is a well funded Community project which has grown far to large and needs the funding to sustain it’s position. Now that this and other projects have to justify their funding,they don’t like it,as previously they just put their hands out and got it.

Questions must be asked of funding applications,and in his case it would appear that PEP had the cheek to ask for £300 pounds for transport costs which we understand was only a part of their application,when they have as someone said to Pilton Suck’s ”more buses on the road than LRT”.

Our post bag has now re-opened and ready for business.
