Following my weekly ward surgeries at the Mitchell Street Centre and at Harris Academy, I attended tonight's meeting of the City Council's Development Management Committee at which a planning application for office accommodation at the digital media park in Greenmarket - aimed at the digital media/creative industries sector - was considered.
The application was rightly strongly backed - by 21 votes to 2 - but I did seek - and obtained - assurances about visual appearance and the quality of design.
Supporting our digital media sector is vital if we are to secure economic growth for our city and it is good to see the future of the digital media park at Greenmarket and Seabraes being secured.
