Shelter Scotland is said to be extremely disappointed by this development, fearing it could set an unfavorable precedent for the upcoming Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
Watson previously said in a statement: “A family experiencing the pain of homelessness in Edinburgh should not have to travel miles from their work, school and community to find emergency accommodation. “
She went on to say: “At a time when the City of Edinburgh Council declared a housing emergency and the Scottish Housing Regulator said the city’s homeless services were experiencing problems systemic, we need a different response from the Scottish Government.”
