YOUth Decide!

The next meeting of Inverleith Neighbourhood Partnership, which takes place at 1.30pm on Friday (14 June) at Broughton High School, will be focused on the young people of Inverleith.

Anyone living in Inverleith aged under 18 years is invited to send us your thoughts on small projects that might improve the neighbourhood for young people, and those present will vote on favourites. The NP will then look at ways of finding the resources or funding to make it happen!

Please send us your ideas and come along on the day to cast your vote. The day will also include entertainment from pupils and information stalls.

Date set for Active Lives Forum

As some of you know we are planning to develop an Active Lives Forum.

The forum will enable better link working between organisations in the local area, help us to avoid duplication and enable us to support each other in terms of developing physical activity in Greater Pilton.

The first meeting is due to take place on

Wednesday 19 June 2-4pm at Pilton Community Health Project

It would be great to see you or someone from your organisation there. The aim of the first meeting is to explore what people think the forum should look like, identify its primary aims/objectives and to start the process of building relationships.

Some local people who took part in our project review would also like to take the opportunity to present the findings; these include some very novel and interesting ideas!

Please get back to us by Tuesday 18 June to confirm your attendance at the meeting if possible and please circulate to anyone else you think might have an interest or would benefit from being involved in the forum.

Listen up … local radio for North Edinburgh?

A Local Radio Station?

Various people have suggested that a local radio station for Muirhouse/West Pilton/Drylaw and the surrounding area might be a positive development. Some of the positive aspects of this proposal might be:

Training opportunities for local people in radio and media (with possible links between local high school and Edinburgh College)
Opportunities for local bands and individuals to gain experience produce demos and be given air time
Opportunities for local projects to get their information across to the local communities
Slots throughout the week with different types of themes ie music, younger and older audiences, new migrant communities etc
An overall increase in artistic and creative activity in the area

Interestd? An initial meeting has been organised to discuss the possibility of creating a local radio station, and will take place on

Wednesday 12 June at 5pm

in North Edinburgh Arts Centre

15A Pennywell Court, Edinburgh, EH4 4TZ.

All welcome
