Councillor Cammy Day, the Labour representative for Forth Ward and Peter Hunter of Unison will discuss The City of Edinburgh Council Plans to sell off many of its services at a meeting in the Thistle Room at Meadowbank Sports Centre on Wednesday at 7p.m.
The meeting has been organised by worried East Edinburgh residents who are alarmed at the lack of consultation over the far reaching proposals.
“We approached our local councillor for more information because these are plans to run many of the council services for profit.However he was unable to answer our questions,” said one Willowbrae resident. It`s important that local people should be consulted about these changes. We have invited the LibDem and SNP councillors who represent us to speak at the meeting and hope they will come to explain how they intend to spend our taxes.”
Anyone who would like to know more about these issues is invited to attend the meeting on Wednesday evening.
