Development Plan
What needs to change?
What needs to be preserved?
Have your say on the future
of your community
A well-developed plan which addresses multiple local needs can highlight overlaps and efficiencies in service delivery - "Joined-Up Thinking" can deliver better facilities, quicker and more cost-effectively.
A plan developed with broad community participation helps to assess the viability of local projects, while also demonstrating the level of public support. These are key elements in securing grant funding.
A plan to deliver projects that has been developed and supported by everyone in the area can strengthen bonds between community members and foster a sense of local pride in all who participate.
By having a clear plan in place, our community can ensure that, regardless of changes in committees or changes in government, we can continue to make constant, steady progress towards our goals.
There
are numerous government and EU funded grant schemes available for
community projects, and many communities fail to secure them due to the
complicated application process and short application deadlines.
With
your input, we can build a plan to support and improve our area over
the next five to ten years. With a well thought-out plan in place, we
can have projects ready to go as funding becomes available, rather than
the situation most communities face, where they scramble to find a
project when grants are announced.
Use this form to submit your ideas for inclusion in the Community Development Plan.
All suggestions will be considered, and will be discussed again in a public forum at our next Public Consultation meeting.
If presented for discussion in public (either online and in-person) your suggestions will be presented anonymously by the organisers. You may, if you wish, identify yourself as the proposer of a submission, but you are not obliged to.
