Razzo’s no more? – Referendum debate in Leith – Redesigning South Queensferry – Greater Grassmarket – Handrearing Scarlet the pudu fawn
The little cafe in the centre of St Andrew Square is embroiled in a dispute with their landlords, Essential Edinburgh who have served a 14 day eviction notice which has now expired. The cafe owner Paul Anderson was told to close yesterday, but in view of the fact that he is now in discussion with the council he is going to open today, but probably only for the morning.
It would be a nice gesture to repay him for his hard work over the last six years if Edinburgh Reporter readers bought a coffee there this morning. He opens the doors at 8.00am. See you there?

Queensferry Ambition is redesigning South Queensferry…. or at least they are thinking of ways the town could be improved.
“In March hundreds of people in Queensferry took part in design workshops and completed surveys to help create a shared vision for the west end of Queensferry’s town centre. Queensferry Ambition secured £13,000 of funding from The Scottish Government, City of Edinburgh and Scotmid to undertake this community design process. Design workshops held at Queensferry Parish Church, Queensferry Primary School and Queensferry Churches Care in the Community were undertaken by local Architects and Urban Designers WT Architecture, and surveys undertaken by Indigo Project Solutions.”
The full set of proposals will be exhibited at Queensferry Parish Church from 7pm this evening, Tuesday 24th June along with a presentation from WT Architecture. The exhibition will also be open for viewing between 10am and 1pm on Saturday 28th, after which it will be on display in Queensferry Ambition’s offices on the High Street.
