Developing Our Community - Local Community Plan 2011 - 14
What is the Local Community Plan ?
Local Community Plans aim to improve the quality of life for
people living in local communities, by developing programmes of
activities and initiatives which develop and deliver better
services. The 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

current and future priorities, what have we been good at and what
could we do better. To view the discussion papers from that
