As part of a town centre regeneration plan, only recently revealed, it is proposed to move Dalkeith Library into the ground floor of Midlothian House so that the present Library building can be demolished and a three storey block of flats built in its place. DDCC is very concerned that what is proposed is not as good as what already exists and no equivalent to the Arts centre has been included in the proposals. An initial limited canvass of residents revealed that very few people realise this move is being proposed.
