City of Cooperatives

| Date | 2012 | |
| Description of the project | Following the elections in 2012, “The council aims were to encourage communities, partners and those using its services to become more involved in how these are planned, managed and delivered, with a particular focus on developing more co-operatives.”
“Edinburgh Labour’s draft manifesto is currently out for consultation not just to our own membership but Trade Unions and individuals and local organisations. We are also developing a people’s budget to go along with our manifesto. We are committed to the cooperative approach. Cooperatives are simple to set up, easy to join and more effective than working alone. This type of working has help enable Edinburgh to continue to move towards its long-term objective to become a Cooperative Capital.” (2017, Cllr Joan Griffiths MBE, City of Edinburgh Council, in https://www.councils.coop/blog/edinburgh-cooperative-council/) |
