Talk Porty ~ Portobello

Yes....well done Porty High School. What an achievement......and that's without appropriate training facilities!!

I agree with Carla - DHP are apparently still in the frame and there are fairly large tracts of land near Laidlaws and at the top of Fishwives Causeway. I think it is important to stay on top of any future developments in that vicinity so I say use the community's donations for their original intent...
