Help us make Forth Neighbourhood Partnership area a better place to live

Forth Neighbourhood Partnership would like to hear your views on what you think could improve the Forth area.

Neighbourhood Partnerships (NPs) are the City of Edinburgh Council ’s approach to delivering local community planning and they work to improve the quality of life in the area. The four councillors for the Forth Ward are all members of Forth NP along with City of Edinburgh Council , Lothian & Borders Police, Lothian NHS and local Community Councils.

The Partnership has recently been reviewing its work and we hope you can help shape our priorities by telling us what improvements you would like to see in the Forth area. This can include planning issues, community safety, parks & green spaces, traffic issues or anything else you are concerned about.

We also want your suggestions for small to medium scale environmental improvement projects for funding through our Neighbourhood Environment Programme (NEP). For more information see – www.edinburghnp.org.uk/neighbourhood-partnerships/forth/about/neighbourhood-environment-fund

Tell us what you think would improve the Forth area by:

1. Completing a form online at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/GPT7383

2. Send an email with your priorities to jim.pattison@edinburgh.gov.uk

 

How do Neighbourhood Partnerships Work?

They can:

•  Bring decision making closer to the community

•  Provide opportunities for communities to express their views

•  Set out the priorities to improve quality of life in the communities

•  Make recommendations to the Council and other partner organisations about the way services may be delivered in  the local area

• Comment on strategic decisions that affect the local area

• Award small grants to community groups for projects that can make a difference in the local area.
