Like to sing? Come and join a one-off special performance at the Gasholder!
We are thrilled that the team at Pianodrome, based on West Harbour Road, have composed an original song inspired by the completion of the Gasholder restoration works and the opening of the park!

All are welcome to join in and sing as part of the one-off performance. If you would like to be a part of the choir, please meet Pianodome at 10.30am at the Gasholder Park on Saturday 5 April 2025 for a warm up and rehearsal.
Public Engagement – Equality Outcomes – EDI Framework
The Equalities Team is engaging with the public to help shape our Council’s future Equality Outcomes 2025-2026 and wider EDI Framework for 2026-2030.
- We are asking people what it’s like for them accessing and engaging with Council services.
- We are keen to ensure that as many people who live, work, study, and visit Edinburgh get the opportunity to give us their feedback.
You can complete the online survey now until the 1 June 2025 on the Council Consultation Hub. Easy read versions of the survey are available on request.
