Priest unites new communities

A priest has been hired to bring together new communities set to be created on Edinburgh's waterfront.

Father Ross Bell has been recruited by a consortium of agencies in the Granton area.

His role will be to bring together people who find themselves living in waterfront accommodation over the next few years, from those in penthouse flats to families in social housing.

He will also bid to bring together "old" and "new" Granton as part of his remit.

He said: "What I am doing is nothing new as churches have had a presence of building communities for hundreds of years."

Full story at the Edinburgh Evening News.
