What next for Portobello Old Parish Church and Halls?

Action Porty is a registered company set up to save Portobello Old Parish Church and Halls as a vital community asset via the Community Right to Buy process. The Government recently accepted our Community Right to Buy application and has requested that the Church of Scotland put the sale of Bellfield Old Parish Church buildings and grounds on hold until Scottish Government Ministers decide whether to give the community the chance to raise the funds to pay the full market value for them. In the meantime we want to find out what the community think the potential uses of the building could be. We've prepared this short survey and would love to hear your views. Thank you!
