‘Starting to establish neighbourhood networks’
We’re now setting up neighbourhood networks across Edinburgh. They will bring together community groups, voluntary sector organisations and local councillors to identify what matters to their neighbourhood.
These networks will be part of community planning in Edinburgh where a range of organisations work together with communities to make lives better for individuals and communities.
Over the last year, the Edinburgh Partnership has been looking at how we organise ourselves to make us more open and improve how we work across the city, and neighbourhood networks are a key part of our agreed new structure.
We want to start a conversation about how these networks should work and who should be involved. As there is variety in the groups and organisations in different areas of Edinburgh, each network will decide themselves their membership and how they work.
Please join us at the first session tonight (30th May 2019) from 6.30 – 8:30pm at Drylaw Neighbourhood Centre.
We’ll introduce how neighbourhood networks fit in the new community planning model in Edinburgh. We’ll:
- have an opportunity to discuss ambitions for this area and the neighbourhood network
- generate ideas on how the neighbourhood network might work, including next steps
- identify who else should be involved
- introduce the nomination process for the neighbourhood network representative on the four new locality community planning partnership which we’re setting up to deliver the locality improvement plans.
