INTVEE lives with her husband and two children. She and her husband are both Catholic. She is enthusiastic about Wardieburn but complains about the lack of playing space for children - they come home plastered in dog muck and cuts from broken bottles left in the long grass. She and her neighbour [also present] think Pilton Park lacks essentials for both young mothers and older people; until recently there was only one bench and OAPs would run along after lunch to make sure they got a seat. INTVER notes that the two front gardens are beautifully kept. INTVER had requested a garden but did not get one, some people who had gardens neglected them. INTVEE also complains that the children are not allowed in the back greens and the elderly neighbours can be unreasonable about it. INTVEE refers to a tinker family in her old tenement and when asked by INTVER where they had been rehoused she is quoted as saying "Oh Niddrie - they weren’t given any choice at all". She is also quoted as saying "Do you know, it's not done here to look out your windows - people think it's terrible if you stand at the window looking at what's going on in your street. What's the use of windows if you don't look out of them?". INTVEE believes the younger generation are friendlier with each other than the older generation were. When asked about communal life in Leith and Newhaven she is quoted as saying "Don't you believe it, that's just wish fulfilment. I don't believe it was ever really like that. In the place where I was brought up certainly everybody knew each other - a lot of people were even related but it wasn't matey like that". She would like a family community centre, a place that couples could go together but not necessarily to do the same activity. Her husband is on friendly terms with their children, her own father had nothing to do with her and her siblings. Neighbours often leave keys with each other, if they don't then it meant you weren't trusted.
