Forth ward

Councillor Sanne Dijkstra-Downie

Forth

Sanne represents the Forth ward, which covers the Dudleys, Granton, Newhaven, Pilton, Trinity, Wardie and the Waterfront.

She sits on the Transport and Environment and Policy and Sustainability Committees.

She works for the University of Edinburgh, developing partnerships with donors and organisations who support its work on climate change and sustainability. In her spare time she can often be found (with a camera or a litter picker!) on Wardie Bay beach.

As a parent of two young children, she is well aware of the challenges faced by families who struggle to combine work, childcare and schooling – especially at the present time.

Originally from the Netherlands, Sanne has been outspoken on the need for better and safer cycling and pedestrian infrastructure, so that people of all ages can enjoy being active in a greener and healthier city.

Having lived locally for over fifteen years, Sanne knows the ward well but she is always keen to learn more about the issues faced by residents, businesses and organisations. Please get in touch with her if you have any local matters you would like her to be aware of and let her know if you can help us to deliver our free Focus newsletter.
