There’s still time to complete our Locality Improvement Plan survey and tell us what your priorities are: everyone who lives in, visits or works in the North West area can now help shape what the LIP should focus on.

The link below will take you to a brief questionnaire where you are asked to identify what you feel is important to you, your family and your neighbours:

Work is now well underway in shaping the new 2017 – 2022 Locality Improvement Plan for North West Edinburgh and it’s important that you can tell us what you think needs to happen in the next five years (writes Elaine Lennon).

We are focusing on the themes of Place; Health & Social Care; Community Safety; Children, young people and families; and Employment. Some of you might have been involved already but you might have something else you think you wish to add to the process.

You can do this online by clicking on this link. Simply go to the North West link and thinking of the themes above, let us have your thoughts on how things should be in 2022. We will gather in all of the comments and look to see where there are similarities and then we will ask the communities of North West to rank those statements to help identify the future priorities. If you prefer, you can attend one of these focus groups to give us your views:

  • Health – An Inverleith specific focus group is on TODAY Monday 28th Nov, 2.30-4pm at LifeCare
  • Children & Young People – A joint Forth / Inverleith focus group looked at services for Children and Young People and a second one is planned on Tuesday to look specifically at Support to families and parenting- on Tuesday 29th Nov, West Pilton Neighbourhood Centre 10-12.
  • Place – A final Inverleith specific event will be held in Stockbridge Library on Monday 5th Dec, 2-3.30pm where the main focus will be on ‘place’ – environment, parks etc.

We hope that you can either join us at one of the above focus groups, or give your views on the link above. Please distribute this link throughout your networks.

Thanks

Leith Links set for community council election – but local CCs fail to attract enough members

20160913_094723

The nomination process closed on 26 September and membership has now been confirmed for the city’s other community councils.
