We would like to hear your views on managing change and developments through three different but connected programmes:
- Towards West Edinburgh 2050: proposals on how the area to the west of the city should change in the long-term
- West Edinburgh Placemaking Framework and Strategic Masterplan: sets out plans to create a new neighbourhood along the A8, next to Edinburgh Airport
- Broxburn to Maybury Public Transport and Active Travel Improvements: working with West Lothian Council, we want to improve travel along the A8/A89 between Broxburn and Maybury.
The area to the west of Edinburgh is home to many people and is a place of work or study for others. With its key transport links, and major leisure, sport and cultural activities, it’s an important destination and hub for onward travel to the city, the surrounding region, Scotland and beyond.
We need to manage and coordinate future investment and development in the area to make sure that this growth is well coordinated and supported.
As well as shaping developments, our proposals will;
- manage traffic and improve connections
- help tackle poverty and make sure growth supports everyone
- help us to meet the city’s ambitious net-zero targets
