We asked

We asked for views on a revised proposal to relocate services from Armadale Youth Centre into Netherhall Neighbourhood Centre with some redevelopment of the internal space. This would allow for the disposal of Armadale Youth Centre.

 

You said

At the close of the consultation on 17 May 2016, a total of 131 completed form responses were received. The majority of responders favoured the Netherhall Neighbourhood Centre and the main reasons for this preference were given as:

  • Facilities / services and in particular the use of the Nursery facilities
  • Ease of access and car parking

For the responses received in favour of using the Armadale Youth Centre, the main reasons given were:

  • Facilities / services and in particular the use of dance studio
  • Provides an opportunity to socialise
     

We did

The results of the consultation were carefully considered and a decision was taken to retain Netherhall Neighbourhood Centre and the ball court and to accommodate some activities which currently take place at Armadale Youth Centre.

We will continue to work with groups from both buildings to find the best location for their needs. We will invest in Netherhall Neighbourhood Centre to ensure it is suitable for the future use.

Overview

In 2016 we consulted with local people in the north east area of the city to find out what they wanted from their services. 

The consultation proposed to relocate services from Netherhall Neighbourhood Centre to Armadale Youth Centre and to dispose of the vacated building. In feedback, residents and service users suggested an alternative approach: to swap these proposals around.

We would like to hear your views on this revised proposal to relocate services from Armadale Youth Centre into Netherhall Neighbourhood Centre with some redevelopment of the internal space. This would allow for the disposal of Armadale Youth Centre.
