  • Motion reference: S6M-02693

That the Parliament congratulates North Edinburgh Arts (NEA), which has been awarded £2 million from the Scottish Government Regeneration Capital Grant fund for the development of the MacMillan Hub, in partnership with the City of Edinburgh Council; understands that this builds on their recent community asset transfer, which had the support of 96% of the local community, keeping North Edinburgh Arts at the centre of a creative, learning, work and inspiring community; welcomes the progress that the award represents for North Edinburgh Arts, in moving forward with the Macmillan Hub project; understands that the project aims to provide much-needed space and a service, which will be fit for purpose, fit for the community and fit for North Edinburgh’s next generation, and further understands that the MacMillan Hub will refurbish and expand NEA with the highest quality culture, arts and meeting space, linking, on site, with a new library, new learning and skills hub, a new early-years centre and social housing.
