The following has been adapted from an Edinburgh Council email sent to all Edinburgh community councils. This will also be discussed at the June NTBCC meeting on 12 June (details here).
Please also note the two forthcoming ‘drop-in’ sessions on Friday June 9 & Saturday June 10 at the City Arts Centre (times in the post below).
Delivering Future Edinburgh: getting your views on proposed action plans

The City of Edinburgh Council wants to create good places to live and work across Edinburgh. We are asking people’s views on a framework for how we best use our limited street space to provide a more welcoming environment for all. We have also set out proposed actions in five plans which aim to:
- make Edinburgh’s streets accessible for everyone
- improve public transport and active transport networks
- fully join-up the cycle network
- deliver a people-friendly city centre including vibrant shopping streets
- create safer, thriving neighbourhoods
- achieve ambitious road safety targets, including zero fatalities on our road network by 2030
- reduce harmful emissions across the city.
The Council is seeking views on five draft actions plans which have been prepared to support the delivery of the approved City Mobility Plan for Edinburgh (CMP):
- Active Travel Action Plan
- Public Transport Action Plan
- Road Safety Action plan
- Parking Action Plan
- Air Quality Action Plan
In addition to the five action plans we are also seeking views on an emerging Future Streets framework, which outlines how we can make changes to the allocation of limited street space to improve our streets and provide a more welcoming environment for everyone.
You can find more detail on the five draft action plans and the emerging Future Streets framework here.
