## Resource

Edinburgh’s city council is fighting to demolish Westfield Court — a 1950s curved housing block deemed historically significant by Historic Environment Scotland — arguing its severe decay and safety hazards make preservation impossible. While the council acknowledges its social history, officials call the design “architecturally unremarkable” and say redevelopment is already underway. They’re preparing to formally object to any listing and appeal if necessary, prioritizing new council housing over heritage protection.
