*******************************
There are 12 Neighbourhood Partnerships in Edinburgh. Each bring together local Councillors and representatives from the Police, Health, voluntary sector organisations and the community to find solutions to local issues.
South West Neighbourhood Partnership covers two Local Authority wards of Sighthill/Gorgie and Fountainbridge/Craiglockhart. At the time of the last census the area had a population of 56,338.
The Neighbourhood Partnership covers a very diverse area, comprising a range of housing types and tenures, as well as a mixture of commercial, light industrial, retail, leisure facilities and green spaces. It comprises both areas of relative affluence, with higher levels of educational attainment and employment levels, and areas with significant levels of social need, relating to higher than average unemployment and poverty.
The convener of South West Neighbourhood Partnership is Councillor Donald Wilson.
