Community planning

Community Planning helps public agencies work with the community to deliver better services.  We want to make a real improvement to the quality of people's lives.

The aims of Community Planning in Scotland are:

• Making sure people are involved in the decisions made on public services that affect them
• A commitment from organisations to work together to provide better public services

There are two further principles:

• Community Planning is a partnership that helps to coordinate initiatives and simplify arrangements.  This means resources can be pooled, reducing costs.
• Community Planning aims to improve the connection between national priorities and those at regional, local and neighbourhood levels.
