Each year the Council engages citizens on its spending and savings plans for the year ahead. A four year financial plan for Edinburgh has been set now. However, participants from previous consultations told the CEC that they would like to be involved in helping the Council to identify solutions and redesign services.
This year the CEC want the Third Sector to think about three key services below and put forward ideas and suggestions on how we would like these services to be developed thinking about the City as a whole:
· Developing future library services and improving access e.g. through combining them with other community facilities, involving individuals and communities to help deliver the service and using technology such as swipe card access for 24 hour access to library buildings.
· Developing the ways customers do business with the Council through enhanced online access to information about services, paying for services, requesting a service and giving their feedback.
· Improving access to sport and leisure activities within all Council facilities for the benefit of communities. This will reach different groups and provide opportunities for doing this more effectively by involving individuals and communities
There are two different opportunities to do this:
- You can take part in one of the two conversations to be held on Thursday 17th November in Central Edinburgh (Venue to be confirmed).
- 3pm – 5pm Third Sector Only
- 6pm – 8pm Leaders and Entrepreneurs across Sectors.
To book for these sessions please book through Eventbrite here
- We would urge you to come to a discussion (above) but if you can’t make it you can give your opinions online
