Edinburgh residents have the chance to share their views on a potential safer drug consumption room for the city.
From today until 1 July 2026, people can share how they feel about having a facility for people to take drugs under the care of medical professionals in the Old Town area.
The consultation is an opportunity for people who live or work in the Old Town area to share their views on the facility. Groups including those with lived experience of problem drug use and families affected by drug use will also be consulted.
The views from the consultation period will help to inform whether a formal business case to establish a facility will be developed for the Scottish Government for a final decision.
Residents can take part in an online survey: https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/hsc/sdcf/
Or come along to one of the drop-in sessions in the city centre – they will be advertised on the consultation hub https://consultationhub.edinburgh.gov.uk/
