In 2015 Forth Ports Ltd (Forth Ports) undertook a capital dredge of Newhaven
Harbour and the approach channel, dredging 10,705 m3 sediment and
disposing of it at the Oxcars disposal site in the Firth of Forth. The capital
dredge proved successful in allowing the safe navigation of Newhaven
Harbour by tenders from cruise liners. Forth Ports now intends to
undertake maintenance dredging works within the footprint of the original
capital dredge to continue to ensure the safe navigation of vessels into and out
of the harbour throughout the tidal cycle.
CALA Management Ltd submitted a Proposal of Application Notice (PAN) on 26 February 2016 relating to a proposed residential led development including affordable housing provision, landscaping and public realm parking and associated works and .

This is an opportunity for CALA to gather views and comments from members of the public and the local community on the emerging proposals. The exhibition will illustrate the proposed approach to development as it is progressing, and members of the project team will be on hand to explain the proposals.
We would encourage you to go along and make your views count.

Police Scotland is inviting people to tell them what they want from local policing via a new online survey. The survey, which takes 15 minutes to complete, follows feedback from communities who want better opportunities to have their say.
Chief Constable Phil Gormley said, ‘Police Scotland wants to gather and understand views which reflect the needs of communities.’
The year-long survey went live yesterday at www.scotland.police.uk/yourviewcounts.
Go take, take 15 minutes and tell them what you think!
