More About Us
Neighbourhood Partnerships are a way for
organisations to work together with local people to improve public
services and quality of life. They are a key part of the
governance arrangements for local public services, enabling the
Council and other service providers to focus their resources on the
priorities that matter to communities.
The partners involved in the Leith Neighbourhood Partnership are
the City of Edinburgh Council (Services for Communities and
Children & Families), Community Councils, Lothian and Borders
Police, Forth Ports PLC, Housing Associations, Voluntary
Organisations in Leith Together, Lothian and Borders Fire and
Rescue Service and the North East Edinburgh Local Health
Partnership.
Public meetings to
provide information and consult with the Leith Community are
held in various venues in Leith. Anyone living or working
within Leith is invited to come along. Interactive and
dynamic formats are used in thematic public meetings to ensure
everyone can have their say. The Partnership also holds
regular board meetings to progress the work of the Partnership.
The Leith Neighbourhood Partnership puts listening to local
people at the heart of their work. Community Councillors
represent local people as full members of the Leith Neighbourhood
Partnership. Community Forums work to
encourage a strong community representation and ensure
that the community voice is heard. Five
forums work to progress the Leith Local Community Plan.
