Don’t stop the music: Temporary reprieve for Leith Depot

Leith Depot has been given a temporary reprieve as the battle to Save Leith Walk continues.

In a statement on their Facebook page, the popular music venue said: ‘Folks, on the back of a positive meeting with our landlord, we are pleased to say that we have agreed a lease extension until 31st of October.

For the time being, we continue business as usual and we will update you all when we know more.

Due to the circumstances we have nothing booked in our venue; please get in touch for any gig or event dates; depotvenue@gmail.com

Thank you all for your continued support!

A spokesman for the Save Leith Walk campaign said: “While we welcome news that Leith Depot is being allowed to stay open for a month beyond its current lease, we are disappointed that the landlord didn’t allow the other business, which were successfully trading in the red sandstone building, to remain open too.

“Nevertheless, we hope that today’s announcement is a sign of the developer’s willingness to now work with the community and secure the long-term future of this building so it can continue to be a home for locally-owned, independent shops and businesses.”

The campaigners are looking into the possibility of a community buyout and a public meeting has been organised for 9th October.
