Leith Local Community Plan 2011-14
A Local Community Plan sets out the community's priorities for
the improvement of local services. The local community
are the best people to know what their area needs and are the best
people to ask to set the priorities. Work can now
begin on identifying resources and initiating projects to bring
about a positive change. Views have been sought in paper form
, online and at public discussions over the past few
months. The 5 priorities identified are as follows:
1. To reduce the amount of mess on
our streets.
2. To make it easier and safer to
walk, cycle and drive on our roads and streets.
3. To create an envionment where
people feel safe.
4. To provide encouragement and
opportunities for people to adopt healthier and more active
lifestyles.
5. To provide opportunities for
people to move into paid employment.

Leith Local Community Plan 2009 - 2011
The drafting of the Leith Local Community Plan started in June
2007 at a consultation event attended by more than 70 delegates
from partner agencies and the local community. The huge task
of identifying the priorities for Leith began in the thematic
workshops on that day. Recent research and reports carried
out in Leith were also taken into account and further consultation
was carried out with local people to bring about the Leith
Priorities to be worked towards over the next three years.
A detailed Action Plan is required to enable the Community
Plan to progress. Download documents on the links

Leith Action
Plan
The Leith Community Engagement Strategy and Action Group was a
short-life working group set up to draft a Community Engagement
Strategy for Leith. The group was made up of Council
Officials, Representatives from Voluntary Organisations and, most
importantly, Community Representatives. The group audited
current community engagement within the Partnership area, looked at
recent research reports in which community engagement in Leith was
discussed and noted comments made by local people. This
resulted in a set of recommendations intended to lay a more solid
foundation upon which to build a greater community involvement in
community planning.
The Community
Enagagment Strategy is now being implemented.
