EOTDT user group survey

The Edinburgh Old Town Development Trust (EOTDT) is a community organisation that aims to make the Old Town a better place to live, work and visit. We are developing plans for a potential community run facility on Cranston Steet in the Canongate area of the Old Town.

The Trust is keen that the building will meet the needs of people, groups and organisations in the area. We want to hear your views and will use your feedback to help us develop our ideas.

We have commissioned Community Enterprise to help us carry out this research. If you have queries, or wish to find out more about this project, please contact Victoria Pearce at victoria@communityenterprise.co.uk or call 01506 862227.
