Your opportunity to influence Locality Improvement Plans
There are two more chances to help shape North West Edinburgh’s Locality Improvement Plan this week at community consultation events:
This evening at The Prentice Centre there’s a session on ‘North Edinburgh small area’ – that’s Muirhouse, West Pilton, Granton, Royston Wardieburn and Wester Drylaw to you and me, so it’s no’ that small! These traditional working class communities face a number of poverty-related challenges and tonight’s session will look at the draft action plan drawn up to tackle issues in ‘Greater Pilton’. Are the priorities right? Can the plan be improved? What’s missing?
Have your say tonight at The Prentice Centre, Granton Mains Avenue. The session runs from 5.30 – 8pm.
