South West
South West Neighbourhood Partnership covers two Local Authority wards of Sighthill/Gorgie and Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart. At the time of the last census the area had a population of 56,338.
The Neighbourhood Partnership covers a very diverse area, comprising a range of housing types and tenures, as well as a mixture of commercial, light industrial, retail, leisure facilities and green spaces. It comprises both areas of relative affluence, with higher levels of educational attainment and employment levels, and areas with significant levels of social need, relating to higher than average unemployment and poverty.
The convener of South West Neighbourhood Partnership is Councillor Donald Wilson.
The next meeting of the South West Neighbourhood Partnership will be 23 February at the Meggetland Sports Centre. The theme of the meeting will be Skills & Employment.
We now produce a quarterly newsletter available in local libraries, from community councils, voluntary sector groups or on this website. If you have a story that shows good partnership work please send it to us, together with relevant photos.
