Leith Chooses takes place on Saturday
Leith Chooses takes place on Saturday - the public voting event when all locals can vote for their favourite project from a long list of 30 to receive funding - and is held at the Leith Community Centre. There is, however, a last minute change as the lift at Newkirkgate Shopping Centre is out of order. Anyone who needs step-free access for the public voting can do so in the Utilita Energy Hub, or be assisted to use the ramp in the Lidl car park.
