Edinburgh councillors have been recommended to approve plans to demolish Calderglen Early Learning Centre in Wester Hailes. Following heavy rainfall in January 2026, a significant leak from the ceiling in one of the playrooms took place and a small section of the ceiling collapsed. The building was deemed unsafe and has been closed since March. All children were subsequently relocated to nearby early years settings at Sighthill, Canalview and Clovenstone nursery classes, and Sighthill early learning centre. These arrangements have “worked well”, according to a council report, and there are no current issues with capacity in the area.

Tributes have been paid to Stuart McFarlane, a champion bowler at local level and an international administrator, who has died aged 86. Stuart held the presidency of the Edinburgh Bowling League, the Edinburgh and Leith Association, Bowls Scotland (2015) and the British Isles at a time when the British Championships were played at Sighthill. It was his Craigentinny club who made the announcement of Stuart's passing, saying of their honorary member. "A gentleman who was well known all over the country . "A lifetime devoted to bowls. "Stuart will be sorely missed by all."

To help keep communities safe, The City of Edinburgh Council identified 14 areas across Edinburgh designated as Firework Control Zones (FCZs) from 30 October to 8 November 2026. Check the interactive map:   The zones cover:  Balerno - Calton Hill - Corstorphine - Gracemount - Liberton - Lochend - Longstone - Moredun - Niddrie - Seafield - Sighthill/Broomhouse - Stenhouse/Gaskill, West Pilton - Wester Hailes Within these zones, setting off fireworks will be illegal, even on private property, during the designated period. FCZs aim to reduce noise, stress, littering and antisocial behaviour, while protecting vulnerable people, animals and the environment.

Glasgow residents say commuter parking in Sighthill is leaving them struggling to find spaces near their own homes.
