Edinburgh’s Antisocial Behaviour Strategy for 2016

(Adapted from a post on Leith Links CC’s website)

The Edinburgh Community Safety Partnership, on behalf of its partners and stakeholders including the City of Edinburgh Council and Police Scotland, are looking to consult with residents and visitors of Edinburgh about their experience and opinions of antisocial behaviour in Edinburgh.

They want to know how antisocial behaviour affects you, what you think they should be doing about it and how you think they should be dealing with it over the next three years.

Your feedback will help shape their approach to tackling antisocial behaviour and will inform Edinburgh’s Antisocial Behaviour Strategy for 2016-19.

Please visit Edinburgh Council’s consultation hub to contribute.

Proposed Aldi Development

Aldi is proposing   to build a new foodstore on Commercial Street, at Sandport Industrial Estate, next to Kinloch Anderson.  It will provide car parking and high quality landscaping.
The proposals will create up to 35 new local jobs and assist in regenerating this vacant site while bringing the award-winning Which? Best Supermarket 2015 to Leith shoppers.
Before submitting an application, Aldi will be consulting with the local community.
As part of that process representatives of Aldi’s planning consultants will be attending the Leith Harbour and Newhaven Coomunity Council Meeting on Tuesday 24 November to discuss the proposals.  This will provide an opportunity for local people to have their say.
The meeting will take place in the Shore Room in the community centre in the Kirkgate commencing at 7pm.
