SNP councillors have confirmed their City of Edinburgh Council budget plan which is set to include £4.5m of funding to the King’s Theatre.
The cherished site’s redevelopment has stalled due to inflation in constructions costs and it will not be able to be viable as a working theatre without redevelopment.
The SNP’s opposition budget will propose that the Council borrow £4.5m and provide this sum for the refurbishment, spreading the cost over time.
