Campaign update

Here's an update on how things have been going with the Leith Museum Campaign during and after the summer break!

The petition continues to get strong backing. There's about 3000 signatures in support of the campaign so far, and more and more are coming in every day. The signatures that have been sent in on petition forms have been added to the signatures on the "e-petition" to the Scottish Parliament, and that petition will be going before the Scottish Parliament over the next few weeks.

Local MP Mark Lazarowicz who launched the campaign had a meeting with the Director of the National Museums of Scotland who are the current owners of Leith Custom House, one of the possible locations for a Leith museum. Mark says the meeting was "very useful", and there'll be more information about this on this website in a day or two.

Finally, there's a meeting on 3rd September of some of the local groups who've been backing this campaign to talk about where we take the campaign next.

There'll be more updates on all of this in the next few days.
