broadband connections. Cllr Currie also noted that landline only consumers will
shortly be left with no connection. Ryan McIntyre added that there had been a 70% drop off in young people
contacting their MSYPs about lack of mobile phone coverage and that this would
seem to indicate that coverage must be improving. Anthony Standing suggested mobilising Digital Champions from across the

Update on the ABOIP Development (Rona Gold) Minutes: Rona provided an update on the development of the new 10-year Argyll and
Bute Outcomes Improvement Plan. Short presentations were delivered by
Rona, Lucy and John on the three priority themes of Community Wellbeing,
Housing and Transport Infrastructure respectively, with questions and comments
then invited from committee members. Housing Takki queried the scope to examine which policy areas may need to
change. Takki suggested that we consider what the policy drivers are and what
scope there is for the CPP to consider those within our own organisations
and/or apply influence for change. Morag welcomed the identification of groups experiencing inequalities
around housing and noted that the data shows only the tip of the iceberg. She
noted that the ABOIP should focus on what the CPP can bring together as a
partnership. Morag suggested that partners could, for example, look at what
assets they may have that could be relevant to addressing the housing need in
Argyll and Bute. Graham commented that a lack of housing was impacting on employers being
able to attract job applicants in Argyll and Bute. He suggested that we could
look at assets that older people in the community have, and if better use could
be made of them. Anthony agreed that talent attraction was impacted by a lack of
available housing. Morag suggested that ABC Settlement Officer, Milly Leggett, may have
data about housing being a barrier to recruitment. The CPP team confirmed they
had accessed this. Transport Morag noted the Argyll and Bute Transport Connectivity and Economy
Research Report (2016) Microsoft
Word - Argyll and Bute Transport Connectivity and Economy Research - Report
(A2481830).doc (hie.co.uk) Although the report was published in 2016, the situation remains largely
unchanged. It is currently being considered whether to renew this report and
HIE would be interested in working with the CPP to do this in conjunction with
the proposed Transport Related Social Exclusion research. Cllr Currie noted that Argyll and Bute regional transport is provided by
SPT as well as HITRANS. Takki commented that there exists an array of local activity, such as
car sharing and community transport and the possibility to extend car rental to
encourage sharing rather than ownership. Takki noted that one solution does not
fit all and that community led solutions are the way forward. Rona noted that, in reference to possible solutions, we can look at case
study examples, such as those funded by the Supporting Communities Fund. Rona
added that we need to be mindful that solutions need to address and not
exacerbate inequalities. Stan commented that transport is facing a major transition over the next
two decades that will radically change how we do things and this is likely to
exacerbate inequalities. For example, the price of electric cars may mean that
many people continue to drive old petrol and diesel vehicles, despite the
manufacturing of these being discontinued in 2030 due to government
legislation. The future landscape will be very different. It will be important
to think about future service delivery and build responses to climate change in
now rather than try to retrofit. Discussion took
place on consideration
of how to better connect people into
services in ways that the need to travel is reduced or removed. Community Wellbeing Morag noted that there is evolving thinking resulting from placed based
reviews. Rona agreed to connect with Morag to discuss an appropriate link for
the “place” workstream as this may be in place based plans – such as those of
the area community planning groups. Takki noted that TSI and Living Well staff are receiving ‘train the
trainer’ training in co-production. Charlotte (HSCP) commented that she looked forward to seeing how HSCP
and CPP can work together. ACTION - Rona to discuss appropriate
link for “place” workstream with Morag. |
