The Convener ruled this item, notice of which had been given at the start of the meeting, be considered as a matter or urgency because an early decision was required to preserve the building at 59 Lauriston Place.

a) Boarding up of windows or repairs to damaged glazing where appropriate.

b) Clearance of blocked gutters, replacement of damaged and missing downpipes and work to ensure that all rainwater from the roof coverings were satisfactorily collected.

c) Removal of vegetation from walls and parapet gutters.
