The group gave consideration to a report by the Community Planning Manager which provided an update on the discussion held at the meeting of the Community Planning Partnership (CPP) Management Committee on 20^th December, and its consideration of issues raised by Area Community Planning Groups.

These included issues raised by Area CPG’s at  their meetings in November 2016; a focused discussion on points highlighted by the Oban, Lorn and the Isles Area Community Planning Group; updates to progress on the delivery of actions contained within the delivery plans for Outcomes 3:  Education, skills and training maximises opportunities for all and Outcome 4:  Children and young people have the best possible start and a presentation on the Local Development Plan 2 and upcoming consultation on this.

The group noted that the Chairs of the four Area Community Planning Groups were now official members of the Management Committee.  The Chair advised that the Area Chairs and Vice-Chairs were also meeting with the CPP Management Committee Chair and Vice Chair independently of the CPP Management Committee meeting for informal discussions. This enabled good insight and discussion of local issues.
