Issue - meetings

Report by Community Planning Manager

The Community Planning Manager took the group through the requirement placed on the Council by the Community Empowerment (Scotland) Act 2015 to produce locality plans, and the process by which the Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Community Planning Action Plan was devised.  Having given consideration to the Plan, partners expressed dissatisfaction and concern at the content particularly as it failed to cover issues that have been expressed in a number of areas within the locality, with many advising that they were not in a position to agree to the current version of the Plan.   

Decision:

The Group agreed:-

1.    To the formation of a Short Term Working Group, comprising of 5 or 6 partners to determine the issues they wish to see contained within the Mid Argyll, Kintyre and the Islands Community Planning Action Plan; and

2.    That the Working Group would progress this with the process to be complete by the end of November to allow it to be considered by the Community Planning Partnership Management Committee prior to it being brought to the next meeting of the ACPG in February 2018 for agreement.
