Another Edinburgh is Possible
Another Edinburgh is Possible is a recently formed independent alliance of community groups and trade unionists working to defend and extend public services in the city.
Please consider completing this short survey. Another Edinburgh is Possible wants to know your views about current council services and your ideas for the services we need.
The survey is completely anonymous, it will be impossible to link responses to any individual, and the data collected will be used to help us collate the views of people right across the city and understand how factors like age and gender influence experience.
Once you’ve submitted the form please share the link with friends, family, neighbours and workmates (email, Facebook, WhatsApp etc).
You may also wish to compare and complete the City of Edinburgh Council budget engagement, which closes 12th December 2020.
