CAMPAIGNERS fighting against the controversial Caltongate scheme were set to hold a public meeting at 7.30pm tonight discuss their next move.
The Save Our Old Town group was to host the event at the Old St Paul's church hall on Jeffrey Street to discuss how to lobby Scottish ministers for a review of the £300 million development.

The plans were given the go-ahead by councillors earlier this month. However, campaigners hope to pressure the Scottish Government to order a public inquiry.

Buttress, are you prepared to state on here that EVERYTHING stated on www.eh8.org.uk about the Caltongate scheme is factually accurate?

Think Tank can you please state what parts on eh8 you find are not factually accurate? Why don`t you come along to the meeeting tonight and listen to what concerns people have.

I take it you are a concerned resident in edinburgh with no finacial interest in Crawltongate?

I don't know Think Tank - I didn't have anything to do with writing it. I'm merely pointing out its existence.

What do you think is inaccurate. and how would you know?

Answers in a plain brown envelope, naturally.

The only way to preserve the historical identity of the Old Town would be to open a Weatherspoons!
