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.

Navigate your way to better health!
We’re delighted to launch the country’s first online map showing hundreds of organised health walks in every corner of Scotland.
The new online resource shows when and where local walks are taking place as well as information about how to join them.
Over 670 walks have been registered nationally so far, from Lerwick to Dumfries and Galloway, and we are now encouraging the public to get online and join their nearest Health Walk to improve their health.
The walking map aims to make it easier for people to become more active while meeting new people in their local community. The walks are free, low-level and last around 30 minutes.
Ian Findlay CBE, Chief Officer at Paths for All, said: “Regular walking is such a powerful tool that can do wonders for your social, mental and physical health and we hope that this new map will make it easier for people to get involved in Health Walks.
There are also specialised walks, especially for people with dementia and those who have been affected by cancer.
Ian added: “There’s room for everyone on our Health Walks and we encourage you all to have a look at what’s taking place in your local area and join in.
“We expect this fantastic tool to be a big success and look forward to seeing more routes and organised walks being added to the map over time as the walking community across Scotland grows.”
