Plans for a new community garden which will create a space for residents of an Edinburgh estate to grow their own fruit and vegetables are picking up pace after suffering a series of setbacks due to the pandemic.
The long-awaited project to transform a play area in Slateford into allotments for locals could get going later this year, after official plans were lodged with the council.
Edible Estates earmarked the plot, which is within a ring of tenements between Hutchison Medway and Hutchison Avenue, for its latest community garden in 2019. Plans were derailed by Covid lockdowns but revived in January.
