Who we are and what we do…There’s lots of great work going on in Rosewell, often solely involving volunteers but it can perhaps be confusing at times as to who does what, when and where! As this is the third year of our calendar we wanted to further explain the community groups and what they do, so that every home in Rosewell has a handy reference.
Rosewell Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group – Made up of local volunteers, local organisations (including RDT and RDCC) and Midlothian Council representatives, the group is tasked with overseeing the Neighbourhood Plan, developing an action plan to work towards positive outcomes that have arisen through consultations with local people and the creation of the fantastic calendar which comes through your door every year!
The group meet at Rosewell Resource Centre, 7pm on a Thursday once a month. The dates for 2018 are 11th Jan, 8th Feb, 8th March, 12th April, 10th May, 14th June, 13th Sept, 11th Oct & 8th Nov.
To get involved or submit ideas for how the group can target the 12 Actions Points for this coming year you can contact Claire, the Group Chairperson on: Email: [email protected]
RDCC – Rosewell & District Community Council bridges the gap between Midlothian Council and the local community and help to make public bodies aware of the opinions and needs of the people they represent. The Community Council is made up of local people who all volunteer throughout the year as well as at the 7 meetings held annually in Rosewell Parish Church Hall. All meetings are held on Monday evenings and begin at 7pm – the following meetings for 2018 are: 22nd Jan, 5th March, 23rd April (AGM), 4th June, 27th Aug, 1st Oct and 26th Nov – all at 7pm in the Rosewell Parish Church Hall.
RDCC aim to promote the well-being of the community and to foster community spirit, it is also the place to go to if there’s anything at all we can assist you with that will help make community life better for you.
If you’d like to join the mailing list to receive agendas, minutes of meetings, notification of major consultations and important news of what’s going on in the community you can contact the secretary on any of the following:
Telephone: 07462 808444 Email: [email protected] Website: www.communitycouncil.org.uk/RosewellandDistrict
RDT – Rosewell Development Trust work to support the economic, education, community and social development of Rosewell.
They offer extensive community engagement, volunteer and training projects in conjunction with supporting people into jobs and apprenticeships.
The RDT team are currently working hard to bring to fruition the creation of a much-needed Community Hub to serve the needs of the community. The team have received funding from Big Lottery to carry out all the necessary site investigations, develop the design of the building and create a detailed cost plan for the project, all of which will enable the team to move forward with the final stage application for the project. If successful with all the funding applications, they would hope to start on site with the development later this year. See our April calendar month for more information on these exciting developments.
Rosewell Development Trust offer lots of voluntary and training opportunities from working with children, young people, families, adults and older people; delivering community events or accessing FREE First Aid training. RDT also offer a range of community groups including groups for families, Lunch Clubs, woodland events and computer classes.

Rosewell Neighbourhood Plan
JANUARY 2018
What we’ve achieved so far: Action Plan – 12 months
IssueMore volunteers
needed to support the development of
the Rosewell Neighbourhood Plan.
ActionDesigned a new
volunteering poster and provided more updates to the community through the RDT ‘A Little Bird Told Me…’ newsletter.
OutcomeVolunteer attendance
nearly doubled.
What we plan to achieve: Action Plan – 5 years
IssueContinual engagement with volunteers involved
in the Rosewell Neighbourhood Plan.
ActionDevelop sub-groups, guest speakers and attend community
events.
OutcomeVolunteer numbers remain the same or
increase.
Rosewell the place to get involved in the Neighbourhood Plan!Made up of local volunteers, local organisations (including RDT and RDCC) and Midlothian Council representatives, the Rosewell Neighbourhood Plan Steering group is tasked with overseeing the Neighbourhood Plan, developing an action plan to work towards positive outcomes that have arisen through consultations with local people and the creation of the fantastic calendar delivered to each home in Rosewell every year!
This calendar has a strong emphasis on the 12 Action Points that have been highlighted through consultations with the community and strong partnership work with RDT and RDCC. It includes realistic goals and timeframes, which include giving young people more of a voice, introduction of new community facilities, increased engagement with community bodies, improvement of bus services, reduction of the amount of dog fouling, littering and fly tipping in the village through the RDT ‘Keep Rosewell Beautiful’ and the introduction of the ‘Green Dog Walkers’ scheme.
If you live in Rosewell and would like to get involved or submit ideas for how the group can target the 12 Actions Points for this coming year, contact Claire, the Groups Chairperson by emailing: [email protected]. The group meet at Rosewell Resource Centre, 7pm on the following dates 11th January, 8th February, 8th March, 12th April, 10th May, 14th June, 13th September, 11th October and the 8th November.
There’s lots of great work going on in Rosewell, often solely involving volunteers. Rosewell & District Community Council, Rosewell Development Trust and Rosewell Neighbourhood Plan Steering Group are all committed to work together to make Rosewell a better, stronger and more sustainable place for the people that live there. This doesn’t happen overnight but what is being achieved within this community by local volunteers is something to be proud of! The time, commitment and enthusiasm local volunteers have shown to the projects delivered in Rosewell is greatly appreciated.
The group would LOVE more people to get involved, specifically young people – you will find out more information about the efforts to give young people more of a voice in the June and July pages of this calendar.
As a team of volunteers, it is recognised that some people may be put off attending the Steering Group meetings due to the thoughts that they are formal, which they’re not! They are inclusive, interesting and proactive meetings and to ensure they continue this way, guest speakers will be invited to the March (Green Dog Walkers), June (Midlothian Youth Platform & Scottish Youth Parliament), and September (Midlothian Council Community Safety) meetings.
This, the group hopes, will encourage people to come along and get involved in key issues that they are interested in throughout the year. It does not mean that volunteers are expected at every meeting should they only be interested in a specific topic.

MARCH 2018Rosewell the place to walk freely
What we’ve achieved so far: Action Plan – 12 months
IssueDog fouling.
ActionCampaigned for more dog
waste bins.
Encouraged dog owners to pick up dog fouling and more Green Dog
Walkers to join the scheme.
OutcomeNew dog waste bin sited on Carnethie Street at the opening towards Whitehill
Golf Course. More Green Dog Walkers
have volunteered.Fouling complaints in
Midlothian are down by 60%.
What we plan to achieve: Action Plan – 5 years
IssueContinued dog
fouling.
Lack of awareness on dog related issues,
including sheep worrying.
ActionGrow the Green Dog
Walkers Scheme.
Better educate local community on other dog related issued including
sheep worrying.
OutcomeLess dog fouling
Less sheep worrying
A safer more pleasant place to walk and play.
Green Dog WalkersThe Green Dog Walkers scheme is a Midlothian Council community led initiative to help reduce dog fouling in Midlothian.
Dog walking volunteers are needed to help change attitudes about dog fouling. Volunteers can wear a green armband or dogs may have a green collar and/or lead to signify they are part of the scheme and will:
• Clean up after their dog
• Identify they are part of the scheme
• Wear a green armband/green collar or lead (dogs)
• Carry extra dog waste bags
• Be happy to be approached to give out dog waste bags
• Be a friendly reminder to other dog walkers to clean up after their dogs
We now have a Green Dog Walkers Group in Rosewell. The group will help to administer and publicise the campaign in our area. Starter packs are available at the Resource Centre.
If you would like to get involved or find out more, please get in touch! Drop into the Rosewell Resource Centre or email [email protected] to sign up to the scheme, receive information and access the green Dog Walker’s freebies!
Other Dog Related IssuesIt is against the law for anyone who is responsible for a dog to not clean up after the dog has fouled. They face a fixed penalty fine of £80. The fine increases to £100 if it is not paid within 28 days. The maximum fine is £500 if convicted of an offence.
Please contact Midlothian Council if you see that people are letting their dogs foul and not picking it up. To help investigate and target warden patrols, please contact via website: midlothian.gov.uk and report dog fouling or call 0131 561 5284 providing the following information:
• where and when dog fouling is happening.
• the dog owner’s name and address, if you know it.
• what the dog looks like, including breed and colour.
• your own contact details.
Bag it and bin it and help us eliminate poo trees and dog fouling in Rosewell!
Sheep WorryingSheep worrying does not only refer to animals being attacked or injured, but also includes animals being disturbed or chased. Spring is crucial for lamb development and disturbance can have adverse or fatal effects on their survival. Please keep your dog under control near or where there are livestock.
Please report all incidents of livestock worrying by calling Police Scotland on 101 – always dialing 999 in an emergency. Rosewell wants to keep “ewe” safe!

APRIL 2018Rosewell the place that’s growing!
What we’ve achieved so far: Action Plan – 12 months
IssueOut of date community consultation in relation to the Community Hub
project.
ActionRDT commissioned a new Community Consultation in November 2017 which involved a survey being delivered to all homes in
Rosewell.
OutcomeUpdated information on
what the local community want to see within the
Rosewell Community Hub.
What we plan to achieve: Action Plan – 5 years
IssueLack of fit – for – purpose Community Facility for this
growing community.
ActionRDT working tirelessly
on generating a funding package to meet the requirements of the
community to build the Hub.
OutcomeUpon completion,
there will be increased community, social,
business and health 0space for all to enjoy
and use.
Rosewell is growing at a tremendous rate! With the development of 595 proposed new houses in the village there is even greater need for proper community facilities to fulfil the needs of our growing population.
With this in mind, RDT have been working hard to deliver the facilities required. They have recently finished the construction of a new woodland classroom in Thornton Woods which will enable them to expand their extremely popular woodland events and will be offering sessions for children, those in the community with additional support needs and older people. They will also be offering the opportunity for other groups throughout Midlothian and further afield to enjoy the facilities. For more information on how to sign up to woodland sessions or to volunteer, head to the ‘Get Involved’ page of the RDT website www.rdtrosewell.org.uk
The Community Hub is progressing and there should be some good news on the building project very soon! Over the last year, there’s been lots of growth in Rosewell – between new houses being built, the new RDT woodland classroom and now the work that has started, after a long wait, on the Steading Site, it’s a busy village!
There has been a lot of work going on behind the scenes to move the project forward. With funding support from Big Lottery, RDT have now appointed Architects to work on the design for the building, the final designs have been prepared and the community has been consulted on them.
RDT have commissioned all the necessary site investigations required to ensure the stability of the site and to find out if there is any remedial work required before they start building. RDT also have funding in place to cover the cost of demolition of the old farm buildings and will be carrying this out as soon as they have confirmation of the complete funding package for the project.
The Hub will greatly enhance the work that RDT currently deliver and will offer all the facilities our growing community requires including a multi-functional large main hall, soft play, café bar and sensory space.
Initial plan of inside the Rosewell Community Hub – to be located on the corner of Carnethie Street & Gorton Road.
What RDT are doing to keep the Rosewell identity aliveThe Rosewell History Group meets 6 times a year to work on projects relating to the history of Rosewell. They learn more about the village and surrounding area and work together with other RDT groups such as the Rosewell Lunch Club and Kid World Citizen group to promote and include others in the importance of keeping Rosewell History alive! Dates of when the History Group meet throughout the rest of 2018 22nd May, 24th July, 18th September and 20th November. Get in touch with RDT for more info. Email: [email protected].
The plans for the Rosewell Community Hub include an interactive History Wall which will be a big project for RDT, the Rosewell History Group and local schools and organisations within Rosewell through partnership work.

Kari sits on the Midlothian Youth Platform and is dedicated to promoting youth voices throughout Midlothian.
The Rosewell Community Youth Leadership project was a joint piece of work between RDT and Midlothian Council in 2015 involving young people designing a consultation for their peers (108 Primary School children and 23 Secondary School young people) to find out their views on Rosewell.

AUGUST 2018Rosewell the place to be safe
Road SafetyRosewell is generally a safe place but there is always room for improvement. This year we would like to:
1. Improve safe crossing points
2. Encourage safer parking
3. Reduce speeding traffic
Some kerbs have already been widened on Carnethie Street to create safer crossing points. There are plans to widen more kerbs further down Carnethie Street.
The new roundabout at the junction of the A6094 and B7003 near the Avant Homes development has 2 fenced corral crossing points to help horses and riders feel safer.
Community Police Officers are aware of the inconsiderate car parking on the corners at the junction of Gorton Road and Carnethie Street and at the nearby bus stops. This has resulted in warnings and penalty notices being issued. Parking is particularly bad on Thursdays when local auctions are held.
Due to an increasing number of serious and fatal accidents occurring on the A6094, RDCC and local residents have successfully campaigned for safer roads around Rosewell. This has resulted in the speed limit on the A6094 south of Rosewell to a point south of U72 Ankrielaw Road being temporarily reduced from 60mph to 50mph for an 18-month period. Mobile speed cameras are now in operation along with a police speed camera motorcycle.
Picture from Midlothian Advertiser
Issues raised are now taken forward by RDCC to the ‘Midlothian Traffic, Roads and Paths (M-TRAP) Group’– a sub group of the Midlothian Federation of Community Councils.
This newly established group’s Mission Statement is “Addressing issues of traffic, roads, paths and underfoot surfaces on behalf of Midlothian residents”.
By taking a Midlothian wide approach when dealing with issues, their aim is to achieve more success when dealing with various authorities.
What we’ve achieved so far: Action Plan – 12 months
IssueNeed for safer
crossing points.
Danger from speeding vehicles.
ActionWorked with RDCC,
Police Scotland, Midlothian council and building developers.
OutcomeSafer crossings now in place, particularly nearer the schools.
Reduced speed limit introduced with new speed and camera
signage. Mobile speed cameras now operating.
What we plan to achieve: Action Plan – 5 years
IssueNeed to retain and
improve existing safety measures.
ActionWork with Midlothian
Council to explore new measures.
OutcomeSafer roads and
streets for all.

NOvEMBER 2018Rosewell the place to enjoy our park
What the park offers
CHILDREN’S PLAY PARK
BEAUTIFUL SURROUNDINGS
ONGOING DEVELOPMENT OF THE COMMUNITY MAZE
What the park could offer? Rosewell Park covers a considerable area in the centre of the village. It has a good play area for children, dog friendly rough areas, a football pitch and an attractive central area with plants and benches.
But what could we do to make the park more accessible and enjoyed by the whole community?
➢ Physical barriers – the provision of handrails and more stable paths would make access easier for wheelchair users or those unsteady on their feet.
➢ No toilet facilities – What do you do when your children or grandchildren say they need the toilet and you know there will not be time to get back home?
➢ No shelter or shade from rain or sun – what could we do to create some sheltered areas in the park to keep dry on those rainy days or take shade from the sun (not as likely as the former)?
➢ Nowhere for a picnic – the addition of picnic tables to the park would create family friendly picnic spots and encourage more people to enjoy the park.
What would make you and your family more likely to use the park? We’d love to hear your ideas or if you’d like to join us in taking forward some of the suggestions please get in touch.
Email Claire: [email protected]

DECEMBER 2018
Rosewell the place to reflect, remember and be thankful!
It’s always at this time of year that people remember happy memories throughout the year, families and friendships, neighbourly gestures or community events. If you are one of those people, you are not alone!
The group really enjoyed putting this calendar together as it’s a reflection of all the exciting developments that happened throughout 2017! At time of printing, we unfortunately, are not able to reflect on everything that happened this year!
We hope that you will agree with us when we say that there is lots of great work going on in Rosewell, often solely involving volunteers who are all committed to working together to make Rosewell a better, stronger and sustainable place for YOU. This doesn’t happen overnight but what has and is being achieved within this community by local volunteers is something to be proud of!
This calendar would also not be possible without the financial help of lots of people and we would like to take the opportunity to thank all our sponsors for the 2018 calendar who have made this publication possible. We would also like the opportunity to thank Charles Gray, Graphic Designer from Midlothian Council for his hard work on developing the calendar you now have in your home!
