This raises the question of what's happening with Powderhall Stables (a Council-owned facility) which were refurbished in 2021 (expected to open in 'early 2022'). It was supported by public money (Scot. Gov.’s Regeneration Capital Grant Fund).
A good place to start ?
Could Edinburgh’s displaced artists and makers find permanent homes in council-run facilities?
SNP councillor Finlay McFarlane wants to find out.

@edinhelp Phase 1 of the Mansfield Place Resurfacing Works started on 9 March. Yes - it has been 'windy' - but the impact for pedestrians & cyclists due to the poorly installed barriers is not acceptable.
No personnel on site to raise concerns. Can this be resolved asap ?
ALT Closed junction with overturned / scattered barriers, cones etc. across the pavement
ALT Unsecured barriers spilling into the roadway / cycle lane.
ALT Poorly stored road barriers spilling over the pavement impacting access.

Short Term Let appeals to the DPEA (Scottish Reporter) : almost 50 appeals against refusal of (mainly retrospective) planning permission across Edinburgh have been Withdrawn in the last 2 weeks (e.g. below)
Not clear what has prompted this but does help to unclog the system.....
