Views are being sought from the public on the Council and Ross Development Trust’s proposals to enhance West Princes Street Gardens.
An online consultation has recently opened – closing date 14 September. There is a drop-in information session on 18 July 2018 from 2pm to 7pm at East Drawing Room, Assembly Rooms, 54 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2LR.
The ‘West Princes Street Gardens Project’ proposes to invest in facilities to provide a cherished space for both residents and visitors. It aims to enhance the experience of users while ensuring the gardens remain a beautiful and accessible asset under public ownership. To date, work has completed on the project’s restoration of the historic Ross Fountain and refurbishment of the Gardener’s Cottage, thanks to donations raised by the charitable Ross Development Trust.
The next phase in the project is consultation to gauge public support of the proposals, which will be fed back within a report to Council.
