Community newspaper North Edinburgh News is to close at the end of March due to the withdrawal of council funding.

The last edition of the monthly freesheet, which contained local and community news coverage of north Edinburgh, was published last week.

The local community plans to try and bring it back in the future and a public meeting is to be held on Thursday 17 March to discuss the issue.
