INTVEEs have lived in their house since it was built, the male INTVEE had been involved in founding the Ratepayers Association which was started by a group of residents attending a political meeting during local elections. The first thing they took on was Pilton park which was a wilderness, they had been led to believe by McTaggart and Mickel that it would be a private garden and resident would have a key like the garden in the town centre. They discovered that this was not because of the generosity of McTaggart and Mickel but because they had built the houses to a higher density than they were allowed to, this piece of land was left over and could not be built on. The association got in touch with the Department of Agriculture and the corporation eventually took it over. The factors Gumley took 10/- deposit for the keys, the association discovered no one had ever got this back, there was always some minor damage on account of which the money was retained. The ratepayers took their case to court and won, £400 was repaid to 1200 householders. They get little assistance form the corporation because they refused to accept the conditions - provide educational classes on account that the young people of Pilton were getting more important further education than a local night school could proved - professional exams etc. the Wardie Association however were very in with the corporation with all their country dances, handicrafts etc. He thinks the corporation are now punishing the people of East Pilton by lumping them together with West Pilton and just using the term Pilton.
