Portobello & Craigmillar Neighbourhood Partnership
Welcome to the Portobello & Craigmillar
Neighbourhood Partnership home page. We are ideally placed,
with a castle, the seaside and plenty of parks and green
space. We are keen to maintain and improve these
attractions.
In these pages you can find out what the
Neighbourhood Partnership does and how you can get
involved. There are links to the Partnership's priorities and
the community plan. If you feel we've missed anything, or if
you can't find out what you want to know, please contact us and we'll do our
best to help you.
A full area profile of the partnership area can be
found under Links and Downloads.
