Community groups have been asked to bid for funding to enhance the New Waverley development in Edinburgh.

The project in the Old Town is currently under construction.

The New Waverley Community Fund (NWCF) is a joint project between the City of Edinburgh Council and Artisan Real Estate Investors.

The total fund available is £200,000 including £100,000 held by the council from a previous developer.

Bids up to £25,000 from not-for-profit organisations will be accepted and the New Waverley Working Group is keen to work with groups who can engage the local community with their projects.

Clive Wilding, Project Director for Artisan Real Estate Investors, said: "This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real, positive and long-lasting difference to the Old Town community as part of New Waverley’s overall transformation of the area."

The fund is currently open and closes at 5pm on 7 August.
