Neighbourhood Partnerships are made up of councillors, public agencies, community representatives, Police, NHS Lothian and the voluntary sector. The key focus of the Partnerships is to address issues that affect local quality of life.\n\nThe Partnerships are able to make recommendations and provide guidance and direction to the Council and partner organisations. They’ll also take on decisions relating to environment, open space and traffic management; they’ll be responsible for local consultation; they’ll award small community grants for local projects, and they’ll be able to inform the development of city strategies – making sure they reflect local needs and priorities.
