The City Centre Neighbourhood Partnership Local Community Plan 2014-17

Why do we have a Local Community Plan? Well, for all the local agencies, groups, organisations and communities to work together towards common goals, we need to know that we’re all heading in the right direction.

We’re looking to gather the views of anyone who care about what happens in the city centre, so whether you live, work, study, volunteer or visit here, please share your thoughts. This survey, which will be open until 25 April, is just the very first step in gathering information – we’ll follow this with focus groups, community events, and walkabouts.

You can also help us reach as many people as possible by

  • Sharing the link with your contacts in the city centre, by email, in person, through social media, in your newsletters…
  • Telling the local group you work with.  We’d be happy to come along and talk about the consultation

Understanding our community

Thanks to everyone that came along to the Neighbourhood Partnership Meeting on 6 Feb, and contributed to the lively discussion about communities in the city centre.

The presentations and comments are now on the Neighbourhood Partnership website, and further Census 2011 information can be found on the City of Edinburgh Council’s website.

Your City Centre, Your Priorities

You’re the people that know the communities best – so please share that knowledge with us and inform the CCNP priorities for the next 3 years. This short survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CityCentreLocalPlan1417 is the first step to finding out what’s important to you. We’ll then get out and about and talk to you to find out what improvements need to be made in each area.
