Leith Neighbourhood Partnership Meeting

The next Leith Neighbourhood Partnership (LNP) meeting will take place on Wednesday the 10th of March at the Thomas Morton Hall. If you've been to a LNP meeting before a been put off by the traditional format of the 'top table' and powerpoint presentations style - this meeting will be altogether different.

It's going to be more like a market place, with loads of interesting stalls there on the theme of Housing and the Built Environment. Changeworks will be dishing out Energy and Waste saving advice, and with any luck we'll figure out a way to get the Eco-driving simulator there too. Out of the Blue will be doing the catering.

As part of our We Love Leith campaign, we've been running an on-line consultation gather ideas that should be in a 'Future Travel Plan for Leith.' At the LNP meeting, we'll be running a paper version of this consultation to give folk a chance to feed into this process who don't have internet access. We'll also have a general stall, so that you can quiz us about the other stuff we do, and see if you want to get more involved.

Also important - there's a chance to submit your ideas on how the Housing and Built Environment sub-group (that Greener Leith sits on) should spend their devolved budget for improving the streets and land around council housing. There will be a chance to find out what we spent the money on this financial year - things like getting rid of this, and upgrading it - to make it better for walking and cycling on.

Rumour has it that there may even be a display from Trams for Edinburgh too - as the formal consultation process on the changes that will need to be made to the streets along the tram route is now open too.

This meeting gives everyone the chance to have their say on how the neighbourhood could look in the future. Look forwards to seeing you there!
