Park strife at the City Chambers as protesters fight sell-off plans
Tony Cook, convener of Friends of Inverleith Park, presented the petition to Lord Provost George Grubb in the City Chambers yesterday. And he called on councillors not to allow the sale to go ahead.
A joint motion by Inverleith councillors Iain Whyte and Lesley Hinds was approved calling on Dave Anderson, the council's director of city development, to report on the current position regarding plans to sell the site, the planning status of the land and details of any community consultation taken or planned on the sale.
