A green space around a leisure centre could be sold and turned into flats.

The article from AOL News discusses a proposal by the City of Edinburgh Council to develop a new leisure centre in the north of the city, which has sparked controversy due to plans to remove a significant portion of green space at Silverknowes Golf Course. The council aims to build the centre on a 1.5-hectare site, which would reduce the golf course's size and potentially affect local biodiversity. Local residents and environmental groups have expressed strong opposition, emphasizing the importance of preserving green spaces for community health and wildlife. The council, however, argues that the new facility will provide essential services and recreational opportunities, promising to mitigate environmental impacts through compensatory measures like tree planting and habitat creation elsewhere.
