The ground floor of the Kirk Loan building has been leased on a peppercorn rent for use as Corstorphine Community Centre since last summer but the buy-out will open up access to additional space on the second and third floors, with plans for a major refurbishment. The ownership of an Edinburgh community centre will be handed from the council to local residents - a decade after the former building burnt down. The community centre supports hundreds of local people every week, with a refugee youth group, men's shed and Corstorphine memories just a few of the groups who make use of the space on a regular basis.
