A reminder about two forthcoming Forth Neighbourhood Partnership consultation events:
Help us make Forth a better place to live
Forth Neighbourhood Partnership would like to hear your views on what you think could improve your local 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 your 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).

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 local projects that can make a difference in the local area.
