A public consultation on proposals to ‘transform’ Edinburgh’s city centre has been launched.
The Council has developed a proposal for improving the City Centre, particularly in the area around Princes Street and George Street, which aims to make the area a better place in which to live, work, visit, invest and study.
The proposed scheme has been shaped by a working group chaired by Planning Convener Councillor Ian Perry, who said: “I think many people recognise that for all its architectural beauty and wealth of enticing shops and amenities, the City Centre is still not yet achieving its full potential. With this public consultation, we’ve got the chance here to really do something for the city centre and we’re determined to find a solution which works best for everyone. I would urge everyone with a stake in Edinburgh’s future prosperity to have their say.”
The Council is keen to hear residents’ views on the proposal and how they would like to see the space used.
The consultation process will also shed light on how the proposals might impact on different users and stakeholders.
The findings of the consultation will be the subject of a future report and any changes will then be trialled to test how they work.
The online survey, which will run until Thursday 9 May, can be accessed at:
