Finance & Resources Committee today
The council’s Finance & Resources Committee holds its bi-monthly meeting today at the City Chambers. The agenda and a link to the webcast which you can watch live or when the meeting has ended can be found here. One of the items which they will decide today is whether to offer a long lease of the South Bridge Resource Centre to Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society who were just awarded millions by the UK Government for a capital project. The building has to be valued as part of due diligence but in 2019 it was valued at £1.19 million.
Edinburgh International Festival 2023
The International Festival has been well and truly launched with a press briefing last week, a photo call yesterday morning and an evening event for sponsors, press, councillors and many others. The festival is to branch out to 14 council wards in Edinburgh although there is scant mention of what that will look like in the official programme.
