A bid to create a food takeaway in a shipping container in a Midlothian park has been rejected despite claims it could bring some 'panache' to the area.
Willian Kivlin, who was named as a Local Hero by business leaders this year, wanted to open his first snack van in Mayfield Park.
But despite receiving more than 100 letters of support, the plans were rejected by planners who said the new eaterie would be too near to local schools and breached its school and town centre policies.
