Introduction
Your Ward Councillors and the City Council want to hear what you think about a host of issues; They need to hear what you think. Otherwise, your opinions on city life are just background noise. The Council’s Consultation and Engagement Hub is a rolling directory of online surveys.

Please share your views on Community Payback Orders (CPO). These are handed down by the Court to people to pay for their crimes as an alternative to a prison sentence. In particular, we would like to know what you think about the unpaid work part of a CPO, which replaced community service in 2011. This is when an individual who has committed an offence does unpaid work within the community.

The City of Edinburgh Council is developing its approach to Community Wealth Building (CWB). This is a form of economic development that aims to build a fairer and stronger local economy that works for everyone. It does so by supporting the creation and retention of wealth in local economies, and by giving local people more control over that wealth. The Council is currently developing a plan to set out its priority Community Wealth Building actions.

The Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership (EHSCP) is thinking about changing the way it charges people for services. This is because it does not have enough money in its budget to pay for the services it currently provides. We are looking at asking some people to pay more money for the services they receive, or to pay for services that are free at the moment. We will only ask people to pay more if they can afford to.

The Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership (EHSCP) are looking at making changes to the way we charge people for care that they receive.

From CEC on 25 August: We have been working on developing a business case to expand the tram network in Edinburgh.
With a west to east route, from the Airport to Newhaven, now successfully running, we are proposing a north to south route.
The route would run from Granton, through the city centre, out to the Edinburgh BioQuarter and Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh via Cameron Toll, and potentially beyond into the city region.
Your feedback will help us develop the next stage of the project which is the Strategic Business Case for a new tram line.
While we have provided all the key information to help you complete this consultation, you can find more information and detail on the project webpages on the Council's website.
Read the supporting reports that have informed the consultation for the Strategic Business Case stage. This includes information on the process and timeline, work that has been completed to date, technical reports and frequently asked questions.
This would be a major development in the city’s public transport network and we want to make sure that you have the opportunity to have your say.
