Edinburgh city councillors have voted utilise £250k of funding in a last-ditch attempt to save Gorgie Farm.
The farm closed to the public on Monday (January 16) after charity Love Learning announced it was walking away over funding troubles and the cost of living crisis.
Edinburgh council leader confirmed officials were now looking into the 'liability' of Love Learning relating to the terms of their contract with the council, which could help delay plans to remove the farm's resident animals.
