Shaping Our Community - Community Plan 2011 - 14

What is a Local Community Plan?

Local Community Plans aim to improve the quality of life for people living in local neighbourhoods,  by developing programmes of activities and initiatives which develop and deliver better services. This Plan focuses on key community priorities, which can clearly benefit from all partners working together to achieve better outcomes for local people.

Developing the Local Community Plan

The Western Edinburgh Neighbourhood Partnership wishes the widest possible consultation with local communities in developing the 2011/14 Community Plan. Wider engagement will take place through:

Attendance at a range of community meetings, to highlight priorities already raised, seek feedback, and gain new insight into local issues and perspectives.

Programme of participation in community events e.g. fairs and gala days and local road shows and days of action, to assist in consulting the wider community.

Providing an opportunity for people to feedback online, through the Partnership website, promoted via our email networks.

Engage with local Youth Forum on their priorities for the area

Feedback forms/ brief questionnaires in local libraries and community centres, also available for wider circulation.

Promoting opportunities for participation in the community planning process through all our partners' community contacts.

Discussion of key work streams to take place in sub groups, to develop action plans and identify officers with lead responsibility
