Eyre Place and Long House medical practices: proposed changes to boundaries

The medical practices at 31 Eyre Crescent (postcode EH3 5EU) and 73 East trinity Street (postcode EH5 3EL) are proposing to reduce the areas they cover. This is basically because they believe they are over-subscribed. The details are in the PDFs below. (Click the graphics to see the full-size PDFs.)

Please let us know if you have any concerns about these proposed changes, via our contact-us page.

Make it happen in Leith: 1 September 2019

(adapted from an email from GivRum)


Got an idea for how to help improve an area in Leith? Leith Creative and GivRum can help Make It Happen! We’re calling on local people who care about their community to take part in a day of action and adventure in Leith.

Make It Happen is an event where participants have just one day to take a simple project from idea to reality – Challenge Anneka style! Together we will brainstorm on what’s needed where and make small changes to improve some of the areas around Leith Theatre and Leith Library. A public vote in the morning will decide the best ideas to hand, ideas which will then have access to a materials bank and limited cash fund in order to complete the projects within the day time limit. There will also be some tools available, plus team facilitators to help groups realise their projects.

This event has previously taken place in Denmark and Brazil, with a diverse range of ideas coming out of the process including street furniture building, urban gardening, and music workshops for the community. You can see previous events here: https://vimeo.com/254636500 and https://vimeo.com/240972554, or visit https://www.facebook.com/events/383159288874910 Continue reading
