Now I can make out the detail. This is a wonderful proposal. I absolutely love the dinky little windows on either side of the door. It will be £27,000 well spent if it looks and works as well as proposed. Maybe there can be a wee cafe business running from here sometimes….
There is a proposal to allow Murrayfield Park Hotel, 89 Corstorphine Road to become Temporary Accommodation for people assessed as homeless by CEC. The proprietor, Mr Sohail Akbar, has applied for a HMO to be granted prior to this. This is near the dentist at Western Corner.
Do Friends of Roseburn Park have any thoughts on this or its impact on a shelter in the park? The clients will have a nightly curfew.
