63 Action Westbank

You may remember that, about six months ago, there were quite a storm over plans by the City of Edinburgh Council to sell off land where Tumbles and the Powerleague 5-a-side pitches are currently located. People protested that there had been no consultation over the sale, adding that there had been promises made that this area would ALWAYS be for recreational use.

Well, after several very successful public meetings, an organisation called Action Westbank was formed and is now working on a report to give to the City of Edinburgh Council. The aim is to make sure that Councillors and officials understand that their existing proposals are not acceptable to the people of Portobello.
