The future of Cultural facilities and the well-being of Edinburgh – It’s Up to All of Us

POSTED ON September 11, 2023

We know the impact that cultural activity and social interaction has on our wellbeing. We are blessed in this city with parks, museums, galleries and theatres that educate and enrich our lives but only if we all support them with our presence. How many of us take advantage of it and support it? As the Filmhouse showed, if we don’t we are at risk of losing them and in doing so our city would be the poorer for it. (Barbara Cummins, Chair of the Association).

Communities support new Short-term Let regulations

POSTED ON August 30, 2023 BY Terry Levinthal

The Cockburn with local community and housing groups ask that the City of Edinburgh Council and Scottish Government give little weight to the pressures posed by a well-funded industry lobby group to delay the implementation of STL regulations. Local communities have been placed under huge pressures by the untrammeled expansion of STLs across the city. It is time to restore some balance and ensure that Edinburgh remains a place for people to live.
