I would like to know what the people who work there think. They don't seem to have been consulted. The cut-off for retaining funding seems to have been arbitrarily set at between zero and two people into "real" jobs. Is there an ethical dimension to the jobs found for people. Would a job slicing Greggs bread and putting it in bags really be better than one baking organic bread at the Engine Shed? Panic premature perhaps but why create panic amongst vulnerable adults at all?</p> <p><a href="http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/city-of-edinburgh-council-stop-the-closure-of-the-engine-shed?utm_campaign=new_signature&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_source=signature_receipt#share">Petition to save the Engine Shed</a>. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=10202#post-110952 Fri, 17 May 2013 20:12:12 +0000 chdot 110952@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>Maureen Child (@MaureenChild1)<br /> 17/05/2013 17:50<br /> @wornoutmumhack @edinburghpaper Panic premature.
