Granton Medway – Landscape Improvement Projects

Notification of consultation events

Dear Local Stakeholders,

I am pleased to be getting in touch to inform you about two consultation events for the residents of Granton Medway regarding planned improvements to the Granton Medway Orchard and the Granton Medway Community Park area on Wednesday 26^th June.

The City of Edinburgh Council have appointed AtkinsRéalis to look at potential opportunities for improvements to two areas of open space at Granton Medway. 

The first site is the area of land between the two rows of housing blocks to the south of Granton Medway. The second site is the larger area of grassland siting to the north of Granton Medway. 

At this early stage we are looking to gather local knowledge from the residents to help us inform both developments and shape the improvements for the communities who use them most.  These improvements are looking to address accessibility, safety, biodiversity, flood water management, and general landscape improvements.

To facilitate this, we will be holding 2 separate consultation events on Wednesday 26^th June for residents to drop in and talk to the team together with The City of Edinburgh Council’s Housing team at the following venues and times:

1. Granton Medway Orchard Garden: 11am – 2pm at The Salvation Army Community Centre, 36 Wardieburn Drive, Edinburgh, EH5 1BZ

2. Granton Medway Community Park: 4pm – 7pm at the entrance to the park on Granton Medway (Outdoor)

We would value any help you can provide to raise awareness of these events through your local communication networks to those who live in the area.
