The governance of the Angus Community Planning Partnership (CPP) was reviewed during 2020 to ensure it is fit for purpose in the medium to long term. The board and executive groups have merged as one with a number of workstreams operating for each priority area. This new structure continues to provide a flexible and proactive approach to supporting our communities and partners to achieve our priorities. An annual self-assessment exercise is carried out each year to gather feedback from partners on the effectiveness of the Partnership. This year 98% of respondents said they liked the new structure and the flexibility it brought.
Efficiency continues to be an important factor in the Partnership work. We need to ensure that our efforts and resources, wherever possible, are directed at the issues the citizens of Angus tell us are the most important to them. In order to do this, we ensured that any opportunities to consult with relevant individuals and communities were actively pursued by all partner organisations. This report outlines those efforts and what actions have already taken place as a result or are planned to take place in the future.
On an annual basis the partners are surveyed on the effectiveness of the Partnership and the priorities, this is particularly important this year due to the planned refresh of the Community Plan in 2022. Key findings from the assessment included:-
- 100% of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that the Partnership had done a lot to deliver on the priorities in the past 12 months.
- 60% of respondents noted that other areas of work needed to be done out with the priorities.
- 100% of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that the priorities are reflected clearly in the strategic and operational plans of their own organisation.
- 100% of respondents agreed that service design was the most effective way to move forward in planning services with local people
