Princes Street and Waverley Valley Strategy

How we consult and engage with you

Our current consultation seeks your views on how we can best deliver improvements to address the priorities you have told us about in previous consultations. Your feedback will help us shape the plans. 

The survey will be live until 21 February 2025. We are also hosting workshops with key stakeholders and public drop-in sessions. We will update these pages with more information about these events.

Previous consultation and engagement

We already have a lot of information on what residents, service providers, businesses, developers and visitors want to see as part of an improved city centre.  

This has included consultations on our City Mobility Plan, City Centre Transformation Plan, World Heritage Site Management Plan, which included online surveys, sessions with key stakeholders and drop in sessions.
