Save Leith Walk is hosting a public meeting about the proposed development at Stead’s Place, which plans to demolish the red sandstone buildings at 106 – 154 Leith Walk

Chaired by Morven Cunningham – Director of LeithLate, the audience will hear from Leith local businesses, including Leith Depot, community residents, the Cockburn Association, Ollie Glick from Edinburgh University Students Association and Fife Hyland representing Drum Property Group.

Presentations will be followed by an open Q&A.
