A graphic image with text that reads Short Survey, Prize Draw, Have Your Say

AT the top of the image is a photo showing a row of tenement houses with cars, trees and grass in the foreground. The headline says Our Neighbourhood in 2040. The text below reads: Edinburgh has something special. To south and west of The Meadows and Bruntsfield Links lie Bruntsfield, Merchiston, Marchmont & Sciennes - mainly sandstone tenements and terraced homes with well established local facilities. Please help us prepare a Local Place Plan* that captures: What works well, what we like about the place we live and work, What residents want in 2040 / vision for future developments, Ideas for improvements to achieve that vision.

Have a say in the future of South Central Edinburgh – including #Bruntsfield, #Merchiston, #Marchmont & #Sciennes.

This map shows demand for secure cycle hangars in Edinburgh, with plenty of bubbles over #Bruntsfield, #Merchiston, #Polwarth & #Shandon. We've long encouraged residents to request cycle hangars and signal demand to @edinburghcouncil.bsky.social - we hope they will soon get the message!

Arriving at #Merchiston for my 19th visit since 2006 to speak to the Shell pupils about #HIV. Another wonderful audience, very attentive pupils with many asking excellent questions.

I shared up to date knowledge about #HIV and personal experiences from over 3 decades of being #hivpositive.
