City of Edinburgh Council is proposing to cut a third of the grant to the Water of Leith Conservation Trust. This proposed cut, of £8,500, is 0.01% of the City Council's budget next year but vital to the Trust. If the City Council had to replace the work done by the Trust it would cost much more than the grant given. So if the City Council is serious about efficient delivery of services we call on it to support the Trust

As new arrivals to the Dean Village and Water of Leith, we have already been made to feel welcome by this organisation.
We chose this area because of its beauty and unique character. We have seen and read about the work being carried out by the trust and their volunteers, and have backed it whole heartedly. If the council could think logically, they know they could not afford to keep up this high standard by themselves.
We ask that they re-think their proposed cuts.
