This newsletter will keep you up to date on the progress of the housing development at Liberton Hospital, including updates on security measures, our partners, community events and other regeneration developments in the area.

NHS vacate Liberton Hospital

The medical day hospital and hospital-at-home team have moved to Ellen’s Glen House.

Please contact the NHS directly if you need further information

Keeping the site secure

Keeping the site safe and secure is our priority. We’ve taken advice from Police Scotland and appointed the security contractor SPS. 

Current security measures include:

• Steel sheeting and panelling on all accessible doors and windows to prevent access into the building.
• Cameras to monitor the site 24/7 strategically placed around the entire site. These are monitored by SPS 24/7 and react in real time to any intruders on site. SPS have direct contact to Police Scotland and can contact them to attend site if required.
• Heras fencing to deter any public access as well as bollards to stop any vehicle access from Ellen’s Glen Road. 
• Onsite security guard and regular site inspections.

If you see anything suspicious, please phone
