The future of part of Inverleith Park is on next Thursday's full council meeting agenda.

See our previous post on why part of the park is at risk here.

Friends of the park have arranged a demonstration outside the council chambers at 9am on Thursday 28 April. Details here.

The area's Labour and Conservative councillors Leslie 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."

Are you going to the meeting? I'll be on holiday next week, so please comment below to let readers know where they can get the outcome of the meeting.
