A reminder from Granton & District Community Council

I am writing about three important topics below. PLEASE take a look carefully !

  1. Waterfront Master Plan Survey: The deadline is today (22 November 2018). It is very crucial survey. Future of the waterfront will be depending on it. We are very positive about this, because people’s voice is the most powerful weapon, it will definitely leads towards the change as everyone desire- if more people response. Only 24 hours left to raise your concern, it will only take 10 minutes. This is the right time and right place to raise your voice.Here is the survey link: https://bit.ly/2Djp6WC
