Edinburgh City Council is to launch a new public poll which will help to shape the future of Edinburgh's famous Hogmanay celebrations.
The new poll will reportedly ask locals what they would want to see change in any future events, asking them for their opinions on staples such as the firework display and the street party, say The Scotsman.
The survey is also to give residents the option to vote on dropping any future events completely or breaking them up into two separate events that could be split between Edinburgh City Centre and another neighbourhood area such as Portobello.
There is still much uncertainty surrounding Edinburgh's Hogmanay party after it was cancelled last year due to social distancing measures.
Council chiefs told the paper that this time around they want to look at 'what the people want,' with the public to be consulted on everything from the Christmas market stalls to the funfair rides.

In the past, Edinburgh's Christmas markets have received mixed reviews after pictures emerged of the damage they left behind at Princes Street Gardens. Now residents will be asked if future events should "complement the natural and built environment of Edinburgh” and “be of international quality."
The survey will run for a 12-week period quizzing locals on if they find the celebrations 'too crowded or expensive.'
