A protest regarding plans for Inverleith Park is planned for next week’s Council meeting.
Local Councillors Lesley Hinds and Iain Whyte have united to highlight ‘deep community concern’ over the park’s future
Edinburgh council says Inverleith Park’s depot is no longer needed and propose selling off the space for housing. Friends of the park have arranged a demonstration outside the council chambers at 9am on Thursday 28 April.
The area’s councillors Lesley Hinds and Iain Whyte have tabled a motion for the meeting. They will ask the council to agree to the following:
“Council notes the deep concern of the local community regarding the proposed disposal of the depot site within Inverleith Park. Council therefore instructs the Director of City Development to report to the Policy and Strategy Committee setting out the current position with regard to the proposal to dispose of the site; the Planning status of the land and the details of any community consultation undertaken or planned on this proposal.”
