COUNCIL LAND TO BE SOLD TO HELP FUND TRAMS Five plots of council land are to be put up for sale by the City of Edinburgh Council – and it is hoped that £10 million will be raised to aid the construction of the Trams for Edinburgh project. Most of the land will be sold for housing and is on the route of the Newhaven to Airport route.
