Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes. See all outcomes
The Council engaged with all relevant stakeholders to seek their opinions ahead of the re-procurement of the contract for a festival event in Inverleith Park during the month of August. 2019 was the third and final year of the existing contract.
There were 99 responses received in total and just over half agreed with the general proposal to hold a ticketed event in Inverleith Park in August.
In terms of the length of time that the event would be on-site (10 days inclusive of set up and de-rig) again, just over half agreed with, or had no opinion either way that this was an acceptable length of time.
The majority of respondents favoured a donation to general park improvements, closely followed by donations to new infrastructure such as play or exercise equipment.
We have fully considered the responses from stakeholders and sought further feedback from elected members. As there was no overall majority for either of the questions asked, we will be proceeding with the current specification.
The final contract will be awarded following assessment of a competative tender, in line with the Council procurement policies and procedures.
The Council engaged with all relevant stakeholders to seek their opinions ahead of the re-procurement of the contract for the Festival Event in The Meadows which came to an end in 2019 after three years on-site.
There were 191 respones in total with over half of respondees agreeing with the proposal to host a ticketed event on The Meadows.
The length of time on-site proved the most contentious question with just under half of respondees opposed to the current 33 day event period.
Nearly three quarters of respondees favoured a donation towards general park improvements as their preferred community benefit option.
We have fully considered all the responses from stakeholders and sought further feedback from elected members.
As there was no overall majority one way or the other regarding the questions that were asked we are proceeding with the current specification as it stands.
The final contract will be awarded following assessment of a competitive tender, in-line with Council procurement policies and procedures.
The consultation period for the Draft Strategic Plan was between 16 April and 12 July 2019. People and organisations could take part by filling in the online questionnaire, attending one of the drop-in sessions organised by the Partnership, or request that someone go along to established meetings to talk about the Draft Strategic Plan. In total around 450 people participated. We received 106 online responses and attended 27 groups and meetings.
We asked questions about:
Respondents were broadly in favour of the direction of travel proposed in the Draft Strategic Plan. Around 75% agreed with our vision and values, the principle of home first, the development of an Edinburgh Offer and the implementation of the Three Conversations model. However, people wanted to hear more about how it would be implemented. They felt that when developing the Edinburgh Offer especially, ongoing, transparent and easy to access engagement with all stakeholders was essential. People also wanted to see more detail about specific communities of interest such as learning disability, mental health and carers.
The plan was approved by the Integration Joint Board on 20 August 2019. Read the final plan.
