Edinburgh residents determined to save historic homes

Westfield Court is under threat of demolition as the condition of the building means repairs are 'no longer viable'

Residents of the historic Westfield flats in Gorgie say they are living in constant stress and are unable to sleep at night, as they worry about the future of their homes.

The flats are currently under threat of demolition as Edinburgh council say the condition of the building could mean repairs are no longer viable.

But some of the residents say they feel the council has let them down.

Built after WWII, Westfield was the first modernist social housing block in the UK with its own rooftop children’s nursery.

An updated report on the future of Westfield Court is expected to go before the housing committee in June.
