Edinburgh 'events hub' scheme approved
Plans to transform Edinburgh's Assembly Rooms into a new "events hub" for the city have been given the go-ahead by councillors.
Members of the City of Edinburgh Council's development management sub-committee have voted in favour of refurbishing the venue despite opposition from campaigners. When complete, the Assembly Rooms is set to provide revamped spaces that will be made available for year-round events, including during the summer festival season.
Council culture leader Deidre Brock said: "The building is now in a very tired state and needs a substantial and historically sensitive refurbishment to guarantee its enjoyment by future generations."
