Save Calderglen Nursery from Demolition

Edinburgh’s Sighthill community is rallying to save the Calderglen Early Years Centre from demolition, launching a petition that also calls for repairs to the adjacent Gate 55 center. Parents and residents are outraged by the sudden closure of the 50-year-old nursery, which serves 64 children, and fear losing vital early education services amid already strained local resources. While safety concerns from roof damage and a ceiling collapse have sparked demolition talks, repairs could cost nearly $350,000 and take months — prompting calls for a temporary move to Gate 55 while a long-term plan unfolds. The city council’s education committee will soon review the petition, with a business case on future early years needs due in September.
