28 Days till D-Day!

Today The Evening News printed an misleading article entitled

"Royal Mile Flats saved as demolition ditched"
this is untrue as the tenements are still to be demolished. Seearticle

Their editorial isn`t much better.

Read about the controversial PPS Group the PR firm behind developers Mountgrange, pps they have appeared on Channel 4`s Dispatches Programme, The Evening Standard and Private Eye. Their director in Scotland is none other than Donald Anderson former leader of Edinburgh Council, who backed Caltongate when in office.

We are 28 days away from all the Caltongate Applications going before the City of Edinburgh Council`s Planning Committee on the 6th February. For more information on Save Our Old Town campaign do check the website as well as this blog http://www.eh8.org.uk/
