    • The Council should note that there is more to life than money and greed (Council and Developers). Keep this building intact. Imagine if all the old buildings in Edinburgh were demolished what sort of city would we have? It would certainly not have World Heritage status.

    • This is no time to be closing schools. Education is the key to ending poverty and social problems and it is Scotlands future. Please don't close Niddrie?

    • My attendance at Niddrie Primary School (1957) provided me with a good basic education and some of the happiest memories of my life. Teachers Miss Dunlop, Mr Steel and especially Mrs Tulloch were wonderful. I often drive past the school and remind family of great times spent in the school building as well as playground. Would be good to use this building as a community hub and a terrible waste to demolish it.

    • Niddrie School building should certainly be saved from demolition. So much of our more recent history has been destroyed in the regeneration programme, some worthwhile others I am not so sure about. St Francis School went to make way for the new town centre and Craigmillar Primary is smother and completely engulfed in a development of flats that totally hide the building. Let us hold on to Niddrie School andthe Celtic Cross when viewed particularly in the early summer adorned with the beautifull cherry blosssom trees is a pretty sight for anyone travelling along the main road through the area. there are many uses the old building could be put to that would retain the main part of the structure.

    • This building appears to me and my husband to be a very unique part of Niddrie and its industrial and educational past and should be preserved for future generations.

    • I enjoyed my time at this school when I came home from Australia aged 10 yrs in 1956 and Niddrie/Jewel has been a part of my family since my grandparents time. The original building is a good architectural design which has stood the test of time not like the boxes they build to-day, Please don't destroy it.

    • I enjoyed my years at this primary school and still have a sense of pride when passing the building occasionally. It is a lovely building and should be looked at with pride by all the residents whether they went to that school or not. I feel heart sick at the thought of it being demolished when I see all the horrible buildings our council has allowed to be built. Please please don't demolish it. If it is not needed as a school, find another use for it. (Where are all the children living in the new houses in Craigmillar and Niddrie going to school?)

    • I think schools shoulnt get shut down because education is very impoortant for all the children. I never started shcool until I was ten years old and thats too late for anybody to catch up.there were no shcools near Rigmore hospital where I spent alot of my childhood. I had six years at school which wasnt enough time to do anything. I wasnt able to stay on at school because I was sixteen and I missed out on alot of education. Children need an education and it shouldnt be taken away from them.I hope the school gets saved.
