There is an application for planning permission from the Social Hub, we want members and friends to be aware of the plan and have the opportunity to comment on it to the council as part of the planning process.
Since 2011 Fountainbridge Canalside Initiative have been campaigning and working for a mixed, sustainable neighbourhood to be developed on the old brewery site. The vision was for a community that included families and people of all ages; educational, cultural, recreational facilities and small scale local enterprise
The masterplan for the site was approved by the council in 2016. Regular engagement on proposals for the site has continued with the Fountainbridge sounding board, a forum bringing together the area’s key stakeholders.
FCCT formed in 2021 by combining Re-Union Canal Boats and Fountainbridge Canalside Initiative. We have continued the campaigning work started by FCI since then.
