"Regeneration versus past desolation"

A review of Craigmillar Literacy Trust by Annamarie Causer written on Saturday 19th of November 2011

Greendykes - gone!

Harewood - vanished!

Wauchope - disappeared!

All in a stage of regeneration.

New houses, flats & building creations.

Now, at long last

there's real hope

for a better future.

Not damp and bleak.

For new blood who seek

something brand new.

No longer downtrodden and blue,

they can cope.

Even @ the newly furbished

White House

one's hard pressed to find a louse,

far less a cowering mouse.

The future is looking bright

The deprivation & blight

which struck the area

now almost firmly in the past.

The residents, heads held high

are having a real blast.
