Many thanks to all who have signed the petition so far. Thankfully, all doesn't rest on the petition and a solution is already in the works, hopefully.

The Edinburgh International Arena near Straiton is mentioned in the petition. Like everything else it has been delayed by Covid. It is being worked on by Lothian Leisure Development and the NEC Group.

There hasn't been much update on their social media pages since 2020, I contacted them via Facebook Messenger recently and got an encouraging reply, see attached photo.

More information on the Edinburgh International Arena, which is probably our only hope of ever seeing an arena near Edinburgh can be found at:
