Nourish Food conference Edinburgh

21 November 2019

From the conference website

"Scotland is signed up to becoming a Good Food Nation – a country where we can all afford and enjoy good food without messing up the planet or exploiting our fellow humans. How hard can that be? That’s what we’ll be asking you to figure out at this year’s Nourish conference.

"The conference is all about achieving change – how we get from where we are to where we need and want to be? For much of the two days you will be working in a team of 11 with a facilitator to come up with your team’s game plan – how can we deliver on the Good Food Nation goals?

"Along the way you will have the chance to listen to and work with pioneers, thinkers and changemakers, and to access ideas from Scotland and around the world. At the end of the event, we’ll publish every team’s work as the conference report."

CCT Drop-in Community Consultation Findon Hall Culbokie

21 November 2019


Starts: 15:30
Ends: 20:00

Findon Hall  Thursday 21 November  3.30 – 8.00

Some big changes are coming to the village with the development of the Glascairn Site and a funding award to CCT to design an active travel route through the village.

 

CCT has organised a drop-in consultation from 3.30 – 8pm on Thursday 21 November at Findon Hall to give everyone in the village a chance to meet our three design consultants, examine the proposals and have their say. We will be consulting on:

  • Provisional designs for the new Culbokie village green
  • Designs for the new Community Hub buildings
  • Proposals for a new Active Travel route through the village and out to the A9

Consultants represented at the meeting will be:

  • Katherine Woolf of Horner and MacLennan who are working on the landscape design;
  • Alex Pearson of LDN Architecture who are working on the building design; and
  • Scott McGarva of Pell Frischmann who, with funding from Sustrans, are working on the active travel route.

We plan to leaflet all homes in the village before the event to encourage a high level of participation. We hope you will come along and let us have your views. 

You can view and download  a poster for this event,  a plan of the proposed cafe/toilets/hub building, and a landscape plan of the whole site.
