Here are some of the issues we have consulted on and their outcomes. See all outcomes
We undertook a consultation to determine the level of support for a range of proposals to be included within the Activity Hub re-development of the disused bowling greens at Leith Links. This consultation also explored feedback and opinions towards transforming the pavilion into a café, toilet and community space. Prior to the survey on our consultation hub we delivered an activity hub consultation day at the bowling greens at Leith Links where we engaged a range of groups and local people and publicised the activity hub development. Some of these organisations and groups based in and around Leith included:
This consultation progresses the original 2022 Leith Links masterplan which proposed the re-development of the bowling greens into an Activity Hub.
We held a public consultation on the proposed designs for the Activity Hub between 6 September 2023 and 21 October 2023.
We would like to thank everyone who responded to the consultation.
We have already considered the comments and how to reflect them in the design. Where this is not possible, we will explore how other areas of the park can be adapted to accommodate some of these suggestions.
Our next step is updating the plans to take to Planning Committee early next year. After planning consent our focus will be on securing funding to take forward detailed designs and deliver the scheme. Further updates on this will be published on www.thrivinggreenspaces.scot
We asked
For your views of the impact, both positive and negative, that busking in Edinburgh has on you.
The survey
Told us that the majority are supportive of buskers and liked to hear them around the City, but are not OK with very loud buskers, or buskers performing the same thing, in the same place, for a long time.
We did
We are using your feedback and comments with the aim to better manage busking. The report ‘Amplification of Sound in Public Places’, including a summary report of the survey, is considered at Culture and Communities Committee on 5 October 2023. You can see the report, Item 7.1 here:
