Controlled Parking

At the last EACC meeting concerns were raised over controlled parking and the Vice Chair suggested Community Councils should be asked for their experiences with the introduction of controlled parking and the proposed expansion of these zones.   

On 16th May the Transport & Environment Committee delayed discussions on the Strategic Review of Parking until 20th June. This report is available to download on the Papers for the T&E meeting on 16th May or HERE

Strengthening Community Councils

Along with Community Councillors from other parts of Scotland several representatives from Edinburgh Community Councils attended the event in the Centre for Carbon Innovation on 23rd April 2019.

On relecting the Strengthening Community Councils event, Andrew Paterson of Scottish Community Development Centre (SCDC) wonders if it’s time to rebalance how we think of, and support, community councils. He suggested:

“It’s good to see a balanced view of community councils for a change”

But he thinks there was a clear message from more than one person attending the event The report , presentation slides and notes from the meeting are linked  below

EACC belongs to every Edinburgh Community Council

Its aim is to provide support, advise and give a collective voice for community councils when facing the challenges community councillors encounter on an almost daily basis. No one person is more important than any other. All community councils have a voice on the EACC!!
