Why your views matter

Since 2020 we have been engaging the public and local organisations on what should be included in the Community Plan through sessions with partner organisations, listening events and service design. Partners then circulated the draft to their networks to ensure everyone had the opportunity to provide their views.

This refreshed plan reflects our understanding of what is important to communities and what we believe to be our priorities for partnership working following the Covid-19 pandemic.

How we will deliver community planning in Angus

The Community Plan is an eight-year Plan for the period 2022 to 2030 with an annual review process built into the planning cycle. Over and above our planned programme of action via our delivery groups, within each year period the Community Planning Partnership Board will focus on two or three priority issues, with the expectation of a demonstrable shift in relation to performance.

The plan provides us with:

  • a clear understanding of place and communities,
  • identification of improved outcomes
  • a performance management framework including performance indicators and targets against which we will assess and improve our performance.
