The city council and Midlothian Council are in the process of selling their land holdings in the Shawfair site on the Capital's "south-east wedge" for a combined up-front payment of £6 million.
The sale, to a new consortium of private developers, is proposed in order to try to revive the ambitious £500m vision for a new town of 5000 homes, schools, parks and offices, on part of the former Monktonhall Colliery in Midlothian.

Previous plans were for development of "Town Centre" around Shawfair Station - on the Borders rail line - currently being built.
There were also plans for a lot of cycle paths. It will be interesting to see how many are actually built...
