By Councillor Corbett - Gorgie City Farm

“Council:

•           Shares city-wide dismay about the sudden closure of Gorgie City Farm on 1 November 2019, leaving staff and volunteers without jobs and placements in a place which they knew and loved.

•           Recognises that the urban farm in Gorgie has been a landmark in the city for over 40 years and is cherished by tens of thousands of families and adult volunteers.

•           Welcomes the enormous commitment shown by former staff at the farm since the shock closure, to work with councillors, council staff and partner organisations to provide opportunities for volunteers in the short term and options for a stable future for the farm in the long term.”
