Councillors were forced to axe plans to run a glamping site and offer luxury hospitality as part of a new ski centre project after costs rose to £37million, it has been revealed.
Midlothian Council's ambitious Destination Hillend project has seen prices spiral since it was first agreed four years ago.
Now it has been revealed in reports, presented to councillors at a private meeting in December and published under a Freedom of Information request from the Local Democracy Reporting Service, that councillors had to give up some of the plans for the project.
