In response to feedback from community councillors a Development and Support programme has been established. To date two sessions on Neighbourhood Partnerships and Community Engagement have been held and well received by the community councillors attending. The other sessions are listed below.
To book a place on any of these sessions, please email Julie Dickson (julie.dickson@edinburgh.gov.uk) or telephone 0131-469 5393. Please let her know if you require any assistance to attend or take part e.g. large print, disabled access requirements, travel arrangements, hearing loop etc.
Leith Central CC suggests that these sessions would be beneficial to aspiring LCCC members. Any such people should contact LCCC’s secretary at secretary.lccc@leithcentralcc.co.uk.
