City of Edinburgh Council have launched a consultation on the Draft Open Space Audit 2009. This identifies all significant areas of open space within the urban area of Edinburgh.

CAA will be responding to this along with other local organisations and all feedback will be welcome. CAA especially wants users of the Polofields to add their comments either online or via comment forms which should be available at local Libraries.

The Polofields has no designation as an open space as it is considered "farmland", however CEC has indicated that with sufficient support it's designation might be changed.

Colinton Amenity Association will be submitting comments to this consultation but would like as much input from everyone who uses the local woodlands and open spaces, on how much they enjoy these green spaces and how they would like to see them retained and improved for the benefit of the community 

For more information on the City of Edinburgh website and maps of the open spaces as well as the online questionnaire click here.

We would envourage everyone answering the questionaire to email CAA with their responses to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
