The Total Craigroyston initiative’s Draft Road Map was produced following a number of consultation meetings across the area. The Total Craigroyston team went back out into the community again last week to get feedback on the draft report, holding sessions at West Pilton Neighbourhood Centre, Craigroyston Community High School and North Edinburgh Arts Centre. This feedback will help guide the way forward for the initiative which was set up to improve the life chances of children and families in the Craigroyston High School cluster.
Total Craigroyston’s Tim Packer said: “We had 18 people at the feedback events last week and we will be meeting with others over the weeks to come to continue the conversation about the Road Map and the initiative as a whole.
During the sessions we asked people not only to comment/feedback but also to ‘sign-up’ to particular actions identified in the Road Map. The response to this has been encouraging and we will be following up with those people/organisations on how to take things forward with them.
There has been a lot of interest in the Timebanking scheme and other general opportunities to volunteer and we will make sure how these provisions are accessed is included in the work of Total Craigroyston. Information and communication have continued through the feedback sessions to be an important area requiring further work. It has been great to have a good number of young people involved – they have contributed to a number of the actions and will be involved in taking forward the work.
The Road Map itself is available on the Forth Neighbourhood Partnership website or directly from http://www.edinburghnp.org.uk/media/12573/Road%20Map%202012%2009%2003.pdf. In order to break down the areas of work identified within each of the themes we are preparing a more detailed action plan (with names and some timescales). This will identify who is taking forward each of the areas of work. So, the ‘next steps’ are to go, with the local community and staff, and do the things that people have identified!
If anyone wants to talk about the Road Map then they can contact Christine (Mackay, Total Craigroyston manager) or myself.”
