Following a fire at the Gorgie Farm site on the evening of 24 July, the Council and the Edinburgh Voluntary Organisations' Council (EVOC) have issued a joint statement.
Joint statement from Culture and Communities Convener, Councillor Val Walker and EVOC’s Convenor, Diarmaid Lawlor:
We’d like to sincerely thank the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service for attending the fire at the Gorgie Farm site yesterday evening and making the area safe. This must have been a distressing incident for local residents. We’re glad that no injuries have been reported and that the fire crews were able to contain the fire to the stable block.
We’ll now assess the damage at the site and work to determine the best way forward for this much loved community farm.
