An Edinburgh business owner who painted his shopfront purple without permission says he has 'nowehere left to go' after losing a months-long battle with the council.
Andrew Richardson has been at loggerheads with the authority since receiving an enforcement notice in October ordering him to return the building to a "muted grey colour".
He said this week he was "really disappointed" after the Scottish Government upheld the ruling in response to an appeal, adding it could cost him up to £4,000 to restore the shop to its former shade.
