Another site in Edinburgh has been sold for student housing, but this one is right next to the university. The council has sold a site at Potterrow to Macdonald Estates who will pay £2.92m and will develop the site into 52 student units and a common room.
The sale should be approved later this morning when the Finance and Resources Committee meets. Forgive us we have not read all the papers. There are 459 pages of reports and agenda items.

Some libraries across the city are changing their opening hours and it seems that most of the changes affect Sunday openings.

How will this affect you? Do you use the library on Sundays?
