More About Us
Forth Neighbourhood Partnership has a population of 29,412 and
lies on the northern coastal boundary of the City. From west to

Salvesen, Pilton, Granton, Royston, Wardie, Trinity and the
development area around Granton Harbour.
Forth Neighbourhood
Partnership is a new way for organisations to work together with
local people to improve public services and the quality of life for
local residents. The four councillors for the Forth ward
are all members, along with representatives from each of the 4
local Community Councils and from the City of Edinburgh Council,
Lothian & Borders Police, Edinburgh's Telford College, NHS
Lothian, Waterfront Edinburgh and North Edinburgh Trust.
The Partnership is responsible for developing a Local Community
Plan which sets out the improvements needed in the area as
identified by local residents. In order to take action
on local priorities the Partnership has set up five
Action Groups, each of which has representatives from each
Community Council and staff from the most relevant service delivery
organisations. The 5 Action Groups are:
- Physical Regeneration
- Clean, Green & Safe
- Children, Families & Young People
- Learning & Employment
- Health & Social Care
The activities of the Partnership include:
- Commenting on and influencing major developments in
the Forth area.
- Making recommendations to the Council and partner organisations
to help improve local services.
- Consulting with local residents on the Local Community
Plan.
- Awarding small grants for local projects.
Anyone can attend open meetings of the Neighbourhood Partnership
and the dates and timings are advertised on the council website, at
local offices and in the local community centres and libraries.
