Report by Community Planning Manager

The group gave consideration to a briefing note outlining the consideration given by the Community Planning Partnership (CPP) Management Committee to issues raised by Area CPG Chairs within their respective areas and highlights from the Argyll and Bute Community Planning Partnership (CPP) Management Committee meeting held on 20 September 2017.

Discussion took place in respect of the form in which highlights are brought to the public forum, with partners noting that the document could be circulated in the wider community.  Further discussion was had in relation to the possibility of including a link to the website on fortnightly bulletins and annual reports as a means of encouraging the general public to look further into matters within their local areas.  The Chair encouraged all partners to share the information in their own communities and suggested that Community Council’s also have a responsibility to distribute information.  The Community Planning Manager agreed to take the points raised on board, and suggested that it may be useful to produce highlights from the ACPG meetings.  The Area Committee Manager agreed to take this matter forward. 

David Smart of Highlands and Islands Enterprise gave a brief update in relation to the works being undertaken to ensure a wider coverage of mobile and broadband provision across Argyll and Bute.
