Voting time at our December Open Space event

More power for local communities. That was a strong theme of our Open Space meeting in December 2015. Now we hope together we can turn words into a Community Manifesto for Edinburgh Northern and Leith in the Scottish Parliament elections in May. Please join our community discussion event on Saturday (2 April) in Newhaven Church Cafe 10am – 2pm.

Six points won top votes at our first meeting

1. Funding to create a zero waste local economy
2. Devolved power for local authority and community
3. Take party politics and profit out of housing
5. City wide audit of empty spaces/property
6. Invest (not cuts) in childcare
