AN SNP MP has put pressure on the owners of a historic art-deco cinema to stop it from “falling into dilapidation”.

The George Cinema – in Portobello, Edinburgh – has sat empty for eight years, with various attempts being made to demolish it to make way for flats, and to sell it to the local community, proving unsuccessful.

She added: “We need the council to urgently look at what enforcement action it can take, and agree a way forward that saves this wonderful building and preserves if for the future.

“But I am really sad that Labour and the Tories voted together to water down the wording, ultimately leaving the decision on enforcement completely up in the air. Local people are really worried that the building is at risk, and getting the council to take action is urgent.”We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories.
