Gorebridge and Moorfoot communities are working together on a Community Action Plan 2022-2027.
What is a Community Action Plan you might ask?
This is a way of giving local people an opportunity to have a say on how our communities will develop in the future. We want to know what you would like to see included, how you feel about living here, the good, the bad what is missing and what can be improved.
How Can you help?
There will be a virtual engagement room which you can access by clicking on this link – through www.crtconnect.org.uk Look for the live link on the front page ‘Connect with the Gorebridge Consultation’ and it will take you into the virtual engagement room where there are a few videos from local people that you can watch before answering the questions. Please also share this email and the link to the survey and encourage friends, family, neighbours and anyone else you know living in Gorebridge or Moorfoot Districts who may want to give their views.
Face to Face event
For those people who would rather come and visit the “real” room, a two day event will be held at the Beacon from 10 am – 4 pm on Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th February 2022, where you will have the opportunity to discuss and ask any questions with the organisers . More details will follow, but you can be sure that it will be a happy and memorable event and whisper it, fun!
What difference will it make?
This Community Action Plan will be an important document to take forward and will be used by Midlothian Council Planning and other Departments as a testament to what our community wants to achieve and look like five years from now. It will also help Local organisations applying for grant funding for their projects as they can mention this document in their applications and demonstrate how their project will help the community achieve what they said they wanted. It is a Place Standard approach to community involvement and sets out what is important to those living here.
Please get involved and complete the survey this is your community and your views matter.
