Verbal update by Community Planning Officer

The Community Planning Officer provided a verbal update to the group regarding the results of the recent Place Standard survey. The Community Planning Officer advised that 1550 responses had been received, three times the number of responses received at the last consultation 2-3 years ago.

The Community Planning Officer noted that the results from across Argyll and Bute indicated that the main priority was the movement of people and results of the survey would be available publicly by the end of February.

The Community Planning Officer advised that the top 3 priority areas in the MAKI area were public transport, moving around and the local economy. The Community Planning Officer advised that the Community Planning Partnership will be holding a half day workshop in May to discuss actions and suggestions arising from the results of the survey to form the basis of a new action plan which is hoped to provide meaningful and impactful actions to address priority areas.
