New Funding For Edinburgh Green Spaces

The City of Edinburgh Council have announced new funding for Park Improvements.

The grant can only be used to cover capital works (see examples below) - maintenance costs and staffing costs will not be covered.

Examples:

  • Improvement of visual amenity (e.g. planters, seating, bulbs, flower beds)
  • Provision of educational material for the public (e.g. leaflets, interpretation boards)
  • Equipment provision to carryout practical work (e.g. gardening tools, litter pickers)
  • Habitat creation and restoration (e.g. tree planting, pond creation, bird and bat boxes)
  • Improvement of accessibility (e.g. path works, entrance points etc)

You can download the fact sheet here, and the application form here.

There are a number of application deadlines - The first one is 1st of June 2007. We need to get our thinking caps on... help us to decide what to apply for by filling in our on-line Leith Parks survey.
