“We the undersigned request that the Church of Scotland does not sell the property FOR DEVELOPMENT and does not terminate the lease of LEAP at Malta House, Stockbridge. LEAP is the first abstinence programme of its kind in Scotland. It has pioneered a highly successful community-based treatment and rehabilitation programme for those dependent on alcohol and other drugs. It is our hope that all endeavours will be made to enable this outstanding programme to continue in its present home.”

[Text amended after signature 364 to add words “for development” to petition; see Facebook to follow developing campaign].

Ridiculous. they do vital work here and the church should be ashamed of themselves for putting profit before people.

So sad to see money winning out over real help. stockbridge doesnt need more development it needs support services like this.

LEAP has helped so many people in this city. dont shut them down just to build some more luxury flats no one needs.
