Edinburgh Park Annual Travel Survey

We are delighted to announce the winner of the Annual Travel Survey, 2019 Prize Draw, who was recently presented with a gift voucher. Congratulations to :- Iain Gibson - WSP

Dear All,

As I am sure you have noticed the construction of the new office building has started at the southern end of

the park.

We are working closely with the main contractor to keep disruption to a minimum and your patience is

appreciated when dealing with the additional construction traffic as you enter and exit the park via the

barriers.

Please feel free to contact us if you have any concerns or issues going forward.

Just Eat Bikes

Transport for Edinburgh in conjunction with Edinburgh council have advised that they will be placing bikes

and a docking station on the Edinburgh Park central tram stop over the next month as part of the agreed roll

out strategy for this scheme.

As this is not in the control of Edinburgh Park we will be unable to answer any questions or queries regarding

them.

Workplace Chaplaincy Update Did you know that Edinburgh Park has a chaplain? This is an independent impartial well-being support service. It is provided on-site to compliment the other staff support services, offered by the various businesses resident in Edinburgh Park. The service is confidential and free to use. “One of the most sincere

forms of respect is

actually listening to what

another has to say.”

Bryant McGill, author Many Person Specifications ask for an employee to have “active listening skills”. Listening in order to understand not in order to reply is an activity which is hard work, rewarding and, more importantly, gives people respect and a sense of self-worth. Listening at work and outside work can build trust, draw people out of themselves, settle disagreements and foster collaboration. Being truly listened to is something which can be profoundly helpful, empowering and meaningful. Someone recently described the work of a chaplain as “providing space in which people can hear themselves think”. So, my day to day job is simply to be around in order to listen to people. There are a number of workplaces that I regularly visit and people either have brief conversations with me at their desks and places of work, or visit me in a drop-in space. Sometimes people book a longer conversation outside of work-space over a coffee. I also provide regular events in a number of places called Listening Posts. These are advertised times when lots of information signposting people to a variety of well-being support services is provided. I can also provide training in listening skills and coaching. Workplace Chaplaincy Scotland is an independent national charity, based on Christian values. Our chaplains provide support to people of all beliefs or none without prejudice, judgement or demands. We work to a robust Code of Good Practice and have a reputable industry-recognised board of trustees. If you would like to explore having regular chaplaincy visits in your business or organisation or if you would like to have a one-to-one confidential conversation please contact me: Esther Elliott.

PETS OF THE MONTH EPML, are trying to support the work of the Edinburgh Dog and Cat Home and they have asked us to promote animals that seem to be having difficulty finding forever homes.

LILY Niles & Bonnie

Ref: CA8141-Cat Age: 11 years

Breed: Domestic S.H (short hair) Size: Small

Sex: Male

Niles is a very happy and affectionate boy who is looking for a home with his partner Bonnie. He is very cuddly and loves being made a fuss of. He also enjoys playing with his toys, and curling up in his comfy bed for a nap when he’s tired. Niles is on a diet and needs an owner who will help him loose more weight. The pair would like a home with a garden so they can play and explore outside together. They may suit living with a family with high school aged children.

Lily is a sweet and loving girl who is always happy to be made a fuss of if she knows you. She is an energetic girl with a playful nature, she loves running around in our paddock with a ball, and would love to have more time to run. She does enjoy having some chill time too and loves spending time in her cosy bed. Lily has a high prey drive and reacts when she sees things that move. She is working hard on this issue during her training sessions but will need to continue this work with her new owner, and will need to be walked on a lead when out. Lily is looking for an experienced owner and a quiet home where she will be the only pet. She may suit living with children over the age of 16.
