Local Community Plan
Local Community Plan
Local
community plans aim to improve the quality of life for people
living in local communities, by developing programmes of activities
and initiatives which develop and deliver better services.
The City Centre Plan has been drawn up following extensive
consultation with city centre residents, workers, students, and
visitors who have identified what their main issues and priorities
are.
When developing this plan the partners have recognised the need
to help progress the Scottish Government national priorities and
Edinburgh wide plans and strategies. However, the plan provides the
opportunity to make sense of these and tailor them so that
they are more appropriate to the city centre's priorities and
needs.
The priorities contained within the plan have arisen from
a wide variety of consultation that has taken place since
2008. Over 2500 people have given us their views.
The city centre priorities that have been highlighted are:
- Improving cleanliness
- lmproving community safety
- Improving roads, footways and public spaces
- Improving the shopping and pedestrian experience
- Improving the balance between residents and
visitors
These will all be best achieved through joint working with a
range of our partners.
