Neighbourhood Partnership meetings are taking place in August

With the ongoing rollout of new Localities community planning structures across the city, the future of Neighbourhood Partnerships has been in some doubt but they are back for now – at least until a suitable replacement can be agreed.

Neighbourhood Partnership meetings are open to the public, so take the opportunity to hear discussions and decisions about Local Community Grant Fund applications, North West Locality Improvement Planning, participate in the popular ‘question time’ session and more.

There are four Neighbourhood Partnerships within the new North West Locality and each of these will meet in August. Dates are:

Forth Neighbourhood Partnership

Tuesday 15 August at Royston Wardieburn Community Centre, 6.30-8.30pm

Inverleith Neighbourhood Partnership

Monday 21 August at Stockbridge Library, 6.30-8.30pm.

Almond Neighbourhood Partnership

Wed 23 August at Rosebery Hall, South Queensferry, 6.30-8.30pm.

Western Neighbourhood Partnership

Thursday 31 August Drumbrae Hub, 6.30-8.30pm.

Full agendas for all meetings will be available here
