News on Edinburgh Spaces for people

Thank you to everyone who has contributed to the Spaces for People Commonplace map for Edinburgh. We have had an overwhelming response, with over 18,000 visitors and almost 4,000 comments .

Comments can still be added until 23:50 tonight, 29th June, please share the page with others who might be interested.

All of the responses, including emails received prior to the Commonplace site being launched, will be analysed to help refine and prioritise current proposals. Comments will also help identify new locations where temporary measures for physical distancing are needed.

The City of Edinburgh Council’s website is updated regularly with information about what measures are being installed. Check out the animation below to see what has already been put in place.

Please be aware that the Council will not be able to deliver every suggestion that has been made. Funding and resources will be prioritised for temporary measures that are most needed as lock down eases further. The timescales for the measures being implemented will be dependent on sourcing the materials needed to meet safety standards and also the availability of the appropriate contractors.

Thank you again for your time and ideas, if you have further comments the page remains open until 23:50 tonight.
