To be a better city, Edinburgh needs cheaper parking, resurfaced roads and better music venues, Edinburgh Evening News readers claim.
More affordable homes, the comeback of high end shops on Princes Street and bigger capacity music venues were among the most popular. Edinburgh has so much going for it from world-class architecture, an abundance of green spaces and top attractions from the Castle to the Fringe festivals.
Here’s 14 suggestions that Edinburghers believe would make the city even better.
1. Cleaner streets

2. More music venues
Edinburgh has a few venues from Murrayfield stadium and the Royal Highland Showground to the Usher Hall. But many want to see a bigger capacity, modern indoor concert venue to rival the Hydro in Glasgow. Some want to see more, smaller venues like many that have shut down including Calton Studios.
