Craigmillar & Niddrie
We want to revitalise the area around Niddrie Mains Road by creating better spaces for recreation and socialising alongside safe, high-quality walking, wheeling, and cycling routes. Our plans also include improving access and amenities around Cairntows Park.
Our project is also looking at how we can provide better connections throughout Craigmillar and the surrounding areas to local schools and the Fort Kinnaird shopping centre.
Wider plans include proposals for a new primary school in Greendykes. This project brings exciting opportunities to consider ways the new school can provide extra use and community benefits for the local area. You can find more information under the related projects on this page.
What you have told us so far
Between May and July 2023 we conducted a survey to help us understand your views on the streets, public spaces, local facilities and amenities in the local area. You can read a summary of the findings of this engagement on the Consultation Hub.
Our forthcoming consultation
We have used these findings to create proposals to improve Niddrie Mains Road. We will soon be launching a public consultation for people to provide feedback on these ideas. We will announce full details of this consultation soon, so please keep checking this page for the latest information.
