Local Community Planning
Community Planning is the term used to describe a range of activity which is intended to:
- create an agreed vision which partners can work towards
- give the community a say in the planning of public services
- ensure collaborative working among partners
This community planning work takes place both on an Angus-wide basis and locally.
Kirriemuir & Dean Local Community Planning Team
This Angus Council Team assists communities and groups to contribute to the planning of public services for their area, and to contribute to wider policy discussions.
The Team also helps local groups to initiate and run local projects to improve community life. This help is available to a wide range of groups, e.g. village hall committees, out of school care clubs, local action groups and registered tenants organisations.
The Team undertake localised community appraisals and also conduct local visioning exercise to help create an agreed vision which can inform service planning.
