Save Meadowbank
	Fri 20/04/2007 CAMPAIGN TO SAVE MEADOWBANK CONTINUES Edinburgh residents were today urged to see through pre-election spin and realise the fight to save Meadowbank Stadium is far from over. "The motion tabled by council leader Ewan Aitken doesn't admit mistakes have been made. Instead it asks councillors to re-affirm previous decisions," said Save Meadowbank spokesperson Paula Ferguson. "Yet we now know these original decisions were flawed due to failings in the original consultation process and a funding disagreement with SportScotland. "The motion does not address concerns of local residents because it still means the building of hundreds homes on the Meadowbank site. "The Liberal Democrats want Meadowbank refurbished. The SNP has done a complete turnaround and is now calling for the same. "A local poll showed 87% of respondents wanted to Save Meadowbank. Given this level of support, why can't Labour simply admit they made a mistake and propose a reversal of the decision to demolish Meadowbank?"
