Motion by Councillor Heap – WASPS Studio Space in Dalry

“Committee:

1.         Notes the WASPS provides studio spaces for artists and creatives and operates a studio space at West Park Place in Dalry.

2.         Understands that WASPS wrote to ward councillors indicating it is examining the future of the space in light of what it states are high costs of maintenance.

3.         Is given to understand that the building had previously been purchased from the City of Edinburgh Council.

4.         Notes with regret the underprovision of arts facilities in Dalry and believes the studio is an integral part of the cultural scene in this part of the city.

5.         Requests a report for the next meeting of the Culture and Communities Committee covering (1) the details of any sale of the property by the City of Edinburgh Council and (2) what can be done to support WASPS to keep their studio provision at West Park Place.

6.         Requests the Convener to contact WASPS and representatives of the tenants at West Park Place to discuss what can be done to retain the thriving artistic community at West Park Place, Dalry.”
