Leithers have a different view

It started with a letter to the Evening News:

Leith needs young families living in affordable housing, not get-rich Charlies. Leith is already showing these scars by creating ghetto areas where the old Leith and the new Leith are already a million miles apart. - More Here.

Then the follow-up from Slimeball Coonsillar Gordon Munro saying:

"The Leith Ahead initiative is a network of public, private and voluntary sector agencies working together to create "a balanced, healthy and stable community able to benefit from the opportunities arising from new housing and economic developments." - Leithers have a different view

And of course Forth Ports Authority have another bumper year:

The company said pre-tax profit in the year to December 31 was up three per cent to £49.9 million on sales that were ahead by four per cent at £162.5m.

Update:

Just to confirm that the rich are getting richer, this article titled "Ocean Terminal soars in value" in the Scotsman on 22nd March proves the lying Coonsilar is speaking shyte as usual.

"Forth Ports has seen the value of its Ocean Terminal shopping centre soar by £25 million in the past year - meaning its flagship Leith site has finally begun to deliver a significant return."

So the "New labour" mantra of giving private companies money is definitely working in Leith.
