This is a clearly unfair move by a big operation to hoover up hard won evidence that a viable business is possible in the Leith area, nasty and underhanded
Please share this as widely as you can, tag your local indies too, and help us get the word about about this news.
We know and appreciate how much help we have had for you over the years and we’re sorry to have to ask you for more.
We’re here and we aren’t going anywhere.
