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.
Just over a week to go for applications for £eith Decides!
If you know anyone that’s applying but needs a bit of support to get their application in on time just let Katie Swann know. She can help with getting a group constituted, advice about bank accounts, checking criteria and eligibility etc.
If you know a group that works in Leith and could benefit from some funding, networking and a higher profile that HASN’T applied yet, there’s still time.
Please share and encourage people to get involved.
