Motion by Councillor McKenzie - Tynecastle Community Wing:

 

“Committee:

                                                                                                                                                                        

1. Notes that Tynecastle Community Wing has provided valued community space in Gorgie since the opening of the new Tynecastle High School in 2009.

 

2. Notes that a decision to stop accepting external lets at the venue was made in August 2023, and regrets that stakeholders were not informed in advance.

 

3. Thanks officers for supporting affected organisations to relocate, and for their attendance at the Gorgie Dalry Forum on 4 October 2023, where the reasons behind the decision were discussed and community groups were given an opportunity to express their frustration about the decision and make clear their determination to see the return of external lets at the venue.

             

4. Agrees that external lets should resume at the venue.

 

5. Agrees that a report will come to this Committee within 2 cycles, outlining: 

 

a. the factors that led to the decision, including changes in staffing.

 

b. the current barriers to the immediate reinstatement of external lets.

 

c. a plan to resume external lets safely at the earliest opportunity.”
