Edinburgh IMP

Alright kiddo, let me tell you about the Edinburgh IMP!

You know how you have a piggy bank where you save your coins? Well, imagine if a whole city had a very big piggy bank to save money. That's what the Edinburgh IMP is!

IMP stands for "Investment Management Process". This means that the people who take care of this piggy bank - the City of Edinburgh Council - have a plan on how to save and spend all the money that goes into it.

The Edinburgh IMP is a special kind of piggy bank because it has a lot of money in it - almost £1 billion! That's a LOT of coins! But the council is careful with how they use this money. They want to make sure it's used wisely to help people who live in Edinburgh.

So, the council decides to use some of the money from the Edinburgh IMP to build new schools, parks, and hospitals. They also use it to fix roads and keep buildings in good shape. All of this helps make Edinburgh a better place to live!

In short, the Edinburgh IMP is like a big piggy bank that the City of Edinburgh Council uses to make things better for people who live in Edinburgh by saving and spending money carefully.
